This represents a rather different philosophical system than that of the West, where humans are frequently seen as conquering nature, controlling nature. Even in Western painting, the subject-object split is present in the need for obsessive observation of the natural world.
這和西方認為人類要征服自然、管理自然，連繪畫中也是主客對立、對自然做毫不放鬆的觀察寫實，是兩種不同的哲學體系。
