What are the creative characteristics of Lang Jingshan?

Lang Jingshan's early works mostly show the quietness of Buddhism, lonely stream watchers, leisurely water catchers and scenic pavilions. Later, with cranes and deer as themes, he created works such as Bamboo Birds, Green Couples, Pine Crane Aging and Luyuan Changchun. Since the 1960s, Lang Jingshan has turned to creating landscapes with figures, and the model is mainly Zhang Daqian, a master of Chinese painting. Zhang Daqian, dressed as a Taoist priest, plays the leading role in a collection of landscape works, and has created such works as Gao Shi in Songyin, Sitting in Songyin and Flying Springs in Youxi. Some of these works imitate the works of famous ancient painters, such as Song Yin's Gao Shi, which is very similar to Marin's Listening to the Wind in the Southern Song Dynasty. Lang Jingshan's collective photography imitates Chinese painting, pays attention to artistic conception and imitates Chinese painting in form. Themes and interests are mostly taken from ancient paintings and poems, which is the unity of China's painting style and photography techniques. It has both personal artistic style and distinctive national characteristics.
