Yang Dawei inscription: landscape circle.
Between mountains and rivers
Zhao Tingyang said: Mountains and rivers are between this world and the transcendent world, which is the boundary between the secluded and the mundane, and can be regarded as the transcendent place of this world.
I think that within the landscape, there is a plain leisure and elegance; Between the mountains and rivers, nature and people are indifferent; Beyond the landscape, it is the calmness and intuitiveness of heaven and man. The inner spirit of the landscape does not have a specific shape, but it appears in the form.
When people are in the mountains, the dryness and temperament will all fade, and the temperament will sink into peace.
When people go to the water's edge, they will be infected with some water aura, and people's hearts will be soft in silence.

Between the mountains and rivers, the human spirit can transcend the chaos of the present world, gain insight into the subtleties of the human world, and gain inner insight.
Art can implicitly reflect people's true feelings, because the complexity of human beings is often reflected in duplicity. That's why there are ancient scholars and doctors who are dignified on the temple and wander in the forest and springs.
Nowadays, more and more people like to stay in a comfortable space to meditate in the mountains, which leads to the reality of mutual indifference between people, making people more and more demanding of the limited space in the room. People need to perceive the goodness of nature: mountains, water, sunlight, etc.
When life is simple, people's hearts will be light, and artistic expression can be sufficient when there are no delusions.
Slowly discovering that soft, intangible, and sensible things can make us feel good.
