		Fan Kuan began as a student of Li Ch'eng but soon realized the limits of imitation, remarking, "My predecessor's method consisted of a direct apprehension of things in nature; here am I, learning from a man, which is not the equal of learning from the things themselves.

		Thus, this painting does not reproduce an actual '~scene" in China, but is Fan K'uan's expression of his feelings, what his "heart" tells him nature is like.
