다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

A set form is required to see something as its object is expressed in a picture. There are also some specifications of such form for oriental landscape paintings, which are quite different from those for western landscape paintings. In oriental landscape painting, which has its basis in the Chinese Laotzu-Chuangtzu philosophy that emphasized being united with nature for the happiness of the human being, to paint the landscape and appreciate it is considered as an expression of the intent or wish to be back to nature. In the world of such a concept, a picture seen in scale` not only shows a beautiful scene, but also comprises a small universe` in which natural beauty is expressed, hidden, and far off. To embody this concept in oriental painting, the conceptual specifications for the visual points in a picture are not fixed, but are shared and movable to the left, right, up, or down in all directions at your own will. Each individual scene is thought of or kept in mind to embody and comprehensively express all the points in a whole picture by mobilizing various visual points. A bugamsi, a kind of point of aerial view like a bird`s eye view, is required to comprehend and embody all the visual points.
