As Tang Zhiqi, who was a critic of the Ming Dynasty said, the difficult work of landscape is to draw geographical features of a thousand miles in small canvas. Therefore, if not devoting to draw the landscape for extremely high or deep spot sincerely, you’ll not obtain a splendid landscape”, he supported the application of the ‘abridgement technique’. Like it, the ‘visual point transferring perspective method’ of Oriental paintings had introduced for drawing the magnificent and splendid fields and mountains in one canvas, which is different from the perspective drawing of Western paintings.

As I have pursue the formative art method of traditional landscape paintings for a long time, I have tried to express this feeling to the people living in modern times by using traditional landscape painting techniques such as writing, Indian ink, flat perspective, high perspective, bird’s-eye-view and abridgement technique. Also, in the near future I hope to do my work to deliver these sentiments to the people observing my paintings
