Thus Wang Wei's black-and-white, impressionistic landscapes, did not receive high praise in his lifetime. However, during the Song dynasty, Chinese painting underwent a shift from "realism" to "impressionism," from "depicting scenes" to "creating scenes."
然而，在唐朝精巧豔麗、工筆重彩的仕女花鳥與「金碧山水」流風中，王維的黑白水墨、寫意山水，在當時評價並不算高。
