The character appraisal that had emerged in the late Han Dynasty was then deflected from the appraisal of human relationships toward the pursuit of the image beauty, which caused the rise of portrait painting in the Wei-Jin Northern and Southern Dynasties. And yet the admiration of nature and pursuit of reclusive life on the part of the Wei-Jin Neo-taoism inevitably led to the love for natural landscapes, which is somewhat connected with the serious attention to landscape painting. It is in such an atmosphere that " The Preface to Landscape Painting "emerged as the earliest writing on Chinese landscapes.
