摘要
古代交通不便,绝大多数人一生居住在自己出生、成长的地方,或许一辈子都没有迈出过家乡的村镇。彼时,能够出趟远门去见见世面的,往往都不是一般人,大多是秀才学子进京赶考、仕宦之人外派做官,或是富商大贾远途经商,要么就是真正胸怀天下、拥抱理想的有识之士。今天,我们见到最多的古人出门旅游的证据,是文学家们留下的诗歌.
Wandering among the beautiful landscapes and living in seclusion seemed to be the ultimate path for Chinese literati to escape from the complex world and pursue the ideals.The landscapes drew on paper are the ideal world in their mind.In fact,it was rare for ancient painters to paint realistically.The normal way was to paint based on their memories and personal understandings after the tour.It is fair to say the landscapes in Chinese paintings are the landscapes in the hearts of painters rather than the mountains or rivers in the real world.From their landscape paintings,we can know their footprints and understand their spiritual world.
