Abstract

Jian Jiang’s works are pieces of utmost beauty and sentiment which combines the characteristic of lofty mountains and rivers in paintings of the Song Dynasty, profound artistic conception in paintings of the Yuan Dynasty and unique writing style in paintings of the Ming and Qing Dynasty. His sentiment finds expression in the image forms, or cultural symbols in his paintings. The arrangement and design of those symbols are full of emotional connotations, rationed and irrational. Through the study of design and selection of image forms in his works, a more comprehensive understanding for him and his works can be obtained, it is hoped that the understanding of the selection and application of symbols in his works may provide reference for the analysis of other painters and their works.
