Abstract


Landscape painting is deeply influenced by traditional Chinese Taoism, and traditional culture gives it an inner spirit. The ancient
saying: “Looking at a mountain is a mountain, looking at a mountain is not a mountain, looking at a mountain is still a mountain” reflects the
ancient people’s deep thoughts about nature. Reveal the connection between the traditional body Tao and the aesthetic connotation of landscape painting, express the “Tao” of nature and the “Tao” of the painter’s creation through landscape painting, and summarise the relationship
between the “body Tao” and landscape painting with physical experience. The relationship between “body Tao” and landscape painting is
summarised by physical experience. Taking Guo Xi’s landscape paintings of the Northern Song Dynasty as an example, we analyse in depth
the traditional Taoist theory of “the Way of the Body”, whose creative techniques and theories are recorded in “Linquan Gaozhi”, which originated from real landscape experiences and had a profound impact on ancient Chinese landscape paintings. By studying the idea of “Body
Tao”, we can better understand and pass on the excellent traditional Chinese culture.
