Abstract

The relationship between the Zhouyi and Chinese landscape painting has received increasing attention from scholars at home and abroad in recent years. This paper combines the characteristics of dragon veins and Qi theory in Chinese landscape painting to explain the geomancy idea in painting theory, and demonstrates the influence of Qi theory in the Zhouyi on landscape painting creation. The source of water veins and the rise of clouds steam are regarded as important manifestations of the theory of dragon veins and Qi. The landscape painting with thinking of Zhouyi imagery has the connotation of fitting in with Yin-Yang, moving in the rhythm of Qi and even arousing the external environment, and promoting the harmony between heaven and man. Yin-Yang is the unity of manifestation and concealment, which conforms to the aesthetic principle of the interplay between reality and virtuality in landscape painting. In terms of the function of harmonizing the external environment, the landscape painting with thinking of Zhouyi imagery is also rich in ecological aesthetic significance.
