What is bird's-eye panoramic composition?

Chinese painting composition often adopts bird's-eye panoramic composition method.

Bird's-eye panoramic method, also known as overall description method, or panoramic lens method. It is similar to the panoramic shot in film art, that is, shooting a complete portrait of a person or a panoramic picture of a thing in a film. In the art of writing, it refers to a writing method that comprehensively outlines and describes people, events, scenery and scenery as a whole, and comprehensively observes the scenery to give readers an overall impression.

Panoramic and bird's-eye composition is to synthesize what the painter sees, knows and thinks into a macroscopic consciousness through scattered perspective and changing scenery, and show it in the same picture, creating a bird's-eye picture form after the objective world and subjective feelings are blended. Different from the focus perspective of western painting, this composition form breaks through the visual range of perspective. In order to highlight the subject image, painters put things in different places, different times and different spaces in the same time and space according to the law of beauty, which made China painters get rid of the limitation of time and space concept and pursue the freedom of artistic expression very early.
