What is scatter perspective?

Scattered perspective is a special term for painting and other plastic arts. When a painter paints, he correctly represents the objective image on the plane, so that it has a three-dimensional sense and a sense of space. This method is called perspective.

Because the perspective phenomenon is that the near is big and the far is small, it is also called the "near-far method". Western painting generally adopts "focus perspective", just like photography. The observer is fixed on a foothold and takes pictures of what can be ingested into the lens truthfully. Because of the limitation of space, things outside the field of vision cannot be ingested.

China's landscape paintings can show the vast realm of "thousands of miles away", which is the result of using this unique perspective. Therefore, only by adopting the principle of "scattered perspective" in China's paintings can artists create long scrolls of tens of meters or even higher (such as The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival).

Extended data:

"Scatter perspective" has not been scientifically verified. There is no mention of "scattered perspective" in painting theory, and "scattered perspective" is the endorsement of literati. From the perspective of the development history, perspective is a science and a practical discipline.

In modern perspective, the theory of "turtle pattern" perspective distortion and gradual change has solved the long-standing problem of China's (traditional) painting perspective, and it has verified many interrelationships.

The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is one of them, and the long axis diagram can also be proved and verified by the "shifted perspective" in modern perspective.
