In Southern Song artist Ma Lin's Listening to the Rustling of Pines, the mountains are pushed away into the background, leaving only expanses of pale ink wash. A man sits under a tree, slightly leaning, listening. The creepers on the tree stream out in the breeze, and we almost hear the wind rushing in the pines.
南宋馬麟的「靜聽松風」圖，畫面上，山被推遠，只剩淡墨一抹，畫中人則坐樹下，斜倚身聽著什麼，樹上藤蔓隨風飄飛，松風呼之欲出。
