What is the meaning of "sex" in "sex is outside, heart is inside"?

The theory of artistic creation put forward by Zhang Yun, a painter in the Tang Dynasty, is that "nature is made by foreign teachers and the heart comes from China". It is a typical expression of the theory of "learning from nature" in China's aesthetic history.

"Nature" is nature, and "mind source" is the author's inner feelings. In other words, artistic creation comes from imitating nature, but the beauty of nature cannot automatically become the beauty of art. For this transformation process, the artist's inner feelings and construction are indispensable.

"Learning from nature" clarifies that reality is the foundation of art and emphasizes that artists should learn from nature. It is based on materialism that insists on the relationship between art and reality, with the color of simple materialism. In essence, it is not reproduction and imitation, but pays more attention to the lyric and expression of the subject, which is the high unity of subject and object, reproduction and expression.
