In the world outlook system of ancient Chinese philosophy, Taoism preexisting the universe, is the mother of all things (Lao Zi, Chapter one). It is the movements of Taoism that evolve all things on earth. The above sense of Taoism can be summarised with Zong bing's " Clear the mind and heart to realize the Dao (the highest truth of the universe)."

Tang Zhiqi also said:"in the picture the scenery is only highest, although the character flower-and-bird grass insect, the adverbial phrase cannot call certainly, however is inferior to smell of the scenery loose finally natural." China ancient times landscape painting, certainly not in general sense natural scenery, but is in the painter mind the universe miniature, "patrols" ideal world. What landscape painting pursue is "the beauty is boundless" "the beauty unites" the esthetic boundary. How then Chinese ancient's space and time consciousness does manifest in the landscape painting?
