 Chinese Art | Nymph of the Luo River | F1914.53
This handscroll illustrates a long rhapsody, or prose-poem (fu), written in 222 C.E. by the poet and prince Cao Zhi (192–232 C.E.), in which he describes his romantic encounter with the nymph, or goddess, of the Luo River in central China.
Slightly less than half the work's original length, this scroll is one of the three important Song copies—the other two are in China in the Palace Museum, Beijing, and the Liaoning Provincial Museum—of an original composition traditionally attributed to the fourth-century pioneering figure Gu Kaizhi.
In this narrative scroll, figures are disproportionately large in relation to the landscape in which stylized elements are little more than stages set for various plots, and represent the beginning in the development of Chinese landscape painting.

So, when the Chinese people go into the countryside to look at natural phenomena, they are not only admiring the scenery, but also hoping that they will absorb some of the strength of the mountain or the vitality of the waterfall.
Gu kaizhi (345-406), who was one of the first to postulate theories about Chinese painting, said that "form exists in order to express spirit." Qi is partially derived from the physical act of painting, but it also is transmitted through a mental image onto the painting and thence to the viewer.

This paper explores the interartistic poetics of a unique genre of Chinese poetry known as ti-hua-shi (poetry that comments on and/or represents painting), arguing that it was the Tang poet Du Fu who formulated such poetics through his exemplary style despite the fact that he was not the first to write poetry of this genre.
This paper argues that the poetics of the Tang dynasty ti hua shi registers the influences of the Six Dynasties painter Gu Kaizhi's theory of yi xing xie shen ("portraying spirit through the portrayal of appearance") and critic Xie He's theory of qi yun ("spiritual consonance").
While appreciating the painter's capability to portray the inner quintessence of things the ti hua shi poet tends to valorize more the lifelikeness of the painting through hyperbolization, which suggests the mimetic tendency of his poetics.
