Abstract

       When we realize deep feelings of a painter and know various styles of painting during an era completely, learn about the history and time of origin and also the way the school has been developed and the styles of an art work, charm and appreciation toward a painting will increase. Nature is one of subjects which have impressed many Chinese painters. An original Chinese painter never copies nature because he means something beyond nature's physical appearance. Chinese painting mostly tries to illustrate the feeling a natural landscape creates in the painter by means of symbols and cues. Generally speaking, present study aims to examine the effects of thoughts and social condition of china in illustration of landscapes by Chinese painting during Sung Dynasty. Research method is descriptive and in order to gather the required data, library research was conducted. Findings show that artist thinks of integration with soul and the essence of the nature in Sung School and what he calls nature is a result of changes which society has implied on his world beforehand and artist tries to create his image of the nature by minimum working on details of his imagination.
