Reading Seminar 3: The Embodied Shan Shui: AnInterpretation of Zong Bing's Preface to the Painting of Shan Shui

This reading session takes “The Embodied Shan Shui” as its point of departure, guiding participants into the philosophical world of Zong Bing — to understand how brush and ink became instruments for embodying the Dao, to experience how the practice of “lying and traveling through landscapes” turned into a lifelong companion, and to trace how this classic text gave rise to the millennia-long tradition of Chinese landscape painting.
