In his book To Let Go Or Not To Let Go, Chiang Hsun touched on the painting Travelers Among The Mountains And Streams by North Sung dynasty painter Fan Kuan, on display at the National Palace Museum in Taipei, Taiwan.

From what I understand, many foreign artists are amazed by this masterpiece that depicts the grandeur of Chinese landscapes. I had the opportunity to see this painting myself in Taipei although I didn’t quite understand it at that time.
