%X The concept of ¡°harmony between man and nature¡± in Lao-Zhuang aesthetics profoundly influenced the creation of landscape paintings in the Song Dynasty, exemplified by Fan Kuan¡¯s masterpiece¡ªTravelers among Mountains and Streams. The painting illustrates the Lao-Zhuang aesthetics in its composition, texturing technique, and underlying theme, expressing a deep appreciation for life and a profound regard for nature. This work reproduces the grandeur and majesty of natural mountains and rivers and serves as a carrier connecting the artist¡¯s spirit with the universe. Furthermore, it encapsulates the aesthetic endeavor to achieve balance and unity between nature and the inner self, as expounded in Lao-Zhuang aesthetics. As a result, it serves as a wellspring of artistic inspiration and spiritual nourishment for the development of landscape paintings in the future.
