The Yellow Mountains are an extraordinary landscape for this art form because of the huge variation in form and weather conditions. Sometimes, one mountain can appear to encompass all four seasons at once. There are 72 peaks with steep cliffs, rivers of mist, waterfalls, and pines with long-reaching boughs that survive harsh blizzards and cling through blizzards to the rocky mountainsides. There is a long tradition of Chinese painters traveling to the Yellow Mountains to paint this astounding landscape from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, and into the present.
