The tradition
Blue-green shan shui (simplified Chinese: 青绿山水; traditional Chinese: 青綠山水; pinyin: qīnglǜ shānshuǐ; literally 'blue-green mountain-water') is a variety of shan shui, a style of Chinese painting that primarily depicts scenery. It tends to refer to an "ancient style" rather than modern ones. The main colours of the paintings are blues and greens, and in the early period it was painted using mineral dyes. This style was first formulated by Li Sixun (simplified Chinese: 李思训; traditional Chinese: 李思訓; pinyin: Lǐ Sī-Xùn), a general, politician, and famous painter in the Tang dynasty.¶
