Many of Yun Shouping’s landscape paintings are based on his travels. These works are not purely objective descriptions of natural images, but subjective aesthetic choices, refinements, generalizations, etc. according to their own creative needs. This picture focuses on Lingyan Mountain, and the author uses the aesthetic principles of distance, density, and height to contrast the scenery on both sides of Lingyan Mountain, so as to better express the theme and highlight the ethereal beauty of Lingyan Mountain. This painting is a typical work in which the beauty of form and charm complement each other in Yun Shouping’s landscape painting.
