Emerging in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties (220-589), Chinese landscape paintings became one of the major genres in China by the late Tang Dynasty and Five Dynasties (907-960). As the most expressive form of art which embodying Chinese culture and ideal, the so-called Shan-shuei hua (”Mountains and Water Paintings” or the landscape paintings) has been regarded as an interpretation of the relation between human beings and the nature by the artists who were men of letters themselves. The aesthetics dominating Chinese landscape paintings differed from the Western thought. While Western artists, influenced by the tradition of rationalism, managed to represent and explore the nature, their Chinese counterparts emphasized the harmonious relation between people and his world. The latter especially matters today since the lasting of the human kind depends on whether we can co-exist with our environment harmoniously. This research attempts to probe into the meaning of modern natural aesthetics from the aesthetic image of the Chinese landscape painting promptly.
