Landscape paintings in the Five Dynasties and Song Dynasty are meant to express the ideal of completing one’s disposition or reason, and the feeling of living in seclusion in a place far removed from the world. This is also Lin Haizhong’s basic mindset, and, in the study over the years, he has broken through the norms of ancient sages, finding that the mountains-and-rivers is a proper place for making a thorough inquiry into truth and cultivating the aspiration to living in seclusion. With the reading and understanding of Brushwork Notes, the wonderful paintings of Lin Haizhong’s several journeys through the Taihang Mountains, the video recordings of his trips to the Taihang Mountains edited by Mr. Fan Li, and the photos of various editions of the book in history took by Gao Jin in libraries all over the world, invite us to enter into the place of experiencing the Tao and the realm of Becoming created by Lin Haizhong.
