Gong Xian's Landscape Painting Manual for Apprentices from the Qing Dynasty is an excellent textbook for learning landscape painting, accumulated over a long period of teaching. It analyzes Gong Xian's teaching philosophy in the Landscape Painting Manual for Apprentices, expounding on its connotations of 'taking tradition as evidence' and 'nature as a teacher.' It reveals the artistic value of the draft and its implications for contemporary landscape painting education. This book includes the landscape sketches of Gong Xian--the famous landscape painter in the Qing Dynasty, discussions on Famous Masters in the Painting World and Random Notes on Painting, and detailed explanations for learners. Gong Xian's ink usage is highly distinctive; he inherited and developed the ink accumulation method of the Song Dynasty, applying multiple techniques of rubbing and shading on mountains and trees, resulting in extremely rich ink tones that still exhibit subtle variations in depth and clever contrasts of light and shadow. Most of the contour lines and washes are unified, with appropriate highlights and solid outlines left out. He developed a method characterized by abundant ink and strong brushwork, forming a unique painting style that is thick, ancient, and somber.
