In ancient Chinese paintings, in addition to the magnificent landscapes with huge smoke, it is common to dot the scene and occasionally scatter the paintings. They either travel far away, or watch mountains and waterfalls, or graze under trees, or play games among the clouds, or take a break in making tea, as if the painter picks the dots at will, and has the finishing touch, so that the static picture seems to flow with the movement and gaze of the characters. Is the person in the painting a real painting or a fictional pen? What kind of feelings does the scene in the painting contain? How does the relationship between people and scenery constitute a kind of reflection and intertextuality? And how do they relate to today's viewers?
