Wang Wei (701～761), whose courtesy name was Mojie. He is proficient in poetry, calligraphy, painting and music, but he is best at poetry and painting. The ink landscapes in his paintings had the greatest influence on later generations.
The works handed down in the name of Wang Wei include "Snow Stream Picture", "River and Mountain Snow Picture", and "Wangchuan Picture", all of which are copies by later generations. Judging from his works, he has used the "chatting method" and the concave and convex blending method, using dry and wet brushes to create different shades, each with its own merits, and it has a unique "Zen state" taste that is distant and distant. Wang Wei is revered as the ancestor of the "Southern Sect" in the history of Chinese landscape painting.
