Chinese landscape painting (shan shui hua) is a form of art that takes natural mountain and water scenery as its central theme. From its inception, Chinese landscape painting has been profoundly influenced by Daoist philosophy, which has permeated its development and become an essential component of its cultural and artistic DNA. This study employs a qualitative research approach, utilizing methods of observation and literature review. The research examines the representative landscape painting Sunny Mountains and a Serene Temple and constructs a conceptual framework to analyze its compositional elements. The aim is to explore the Daoist aesthetics embedded in Chinese landscape painting through an in-depth examination of this work.
