In the development of traditional Chinese painting, there has been a phenomenon labeled as ＂visual allusion＂ , which has been shown most distinctly in literati painting. This article takes the painter Tang Yin from the Wu School of painting in the Ming Dynasty for example to discuss some related issues, which mainly involve the concept of ＂visual allusion＂ and its application by Tang Yin. By using visual allusions, Tang Yin＇s paintings became characterized with outstanding wisdom, indicating that he really pursued the truth of life in his paintings instead of illustrating an object as it was. The application of visual allusions by Tang Yin reflected the unique purpose in literati paintings since the Ming Dynasty.
