The three types of distances desired for mountains in Chinese ink painting as defined by the famous Academy landscapist of the Northern Sung, Kuo Hsi (Jp: Kaku Ki Šsą†; after 1000-ca. 1090) in The Lofty Message of Forests and Streams (Ch: Lin-ch`uan kao-chin; Jp:RINSEN KOUCHI —ѐņ‚’v). They are based on his own observations of nature: 1) kou-en ‚‰“ (high distanc), looking up at a mountain from below; 2) shin-en [‰“ (deep distance), looking out from the front of a mountain and to see other mountains behind it; and 3) hei-en •½‰“ (flat or level distance), looking out from a mountain to neighbouring low-lying hills.
