Journey to a forgotten land, hidden in the heart of the Orient, in this amazing Chinese landscape bamboo painting. A small Chinese pagoda is set atop a stone ridge while cranes, water and mountains fill out the scene in this beautiful Asian landscape painting. The traditional paintings of China have mostly been landscapes. The Chinese believe nature is like poetry, beautiful and sonorous. The Chinese artist tries to reveal the underlying nature of the landscape scene he or she is painting. When a mountain is painted, it is not so much a mountain as a composition of various elements that make up the mountain. In fact, mountains and water are a prevalent theme in nearly all Chinese landscape paintings. Even the Chinese characters for landscape mean mountain and water. The water in Chinese paintings represents long life and happiness. The mountains painted in Chinese landscape paintings are usually sacred and symbolize the divine. Many Chinese paintings also include mist, which symbolizes good fortune. Put all together, these three elements are not supposed to bring good luck, they also create the essence of a Chinese landscape painting. Sometimes cranes are introduced into a scene. Cranes symbolize longevity in Asian culture and are a good sign. This masterfully painted Chinese landscape painting on bamboo frame will make superb Oriental decoration on any wall.
