The Chinese painting style is drawn and designed according to the theory of Chinese elements, the five elements represent different parts of nature and therefore have specific color indications in the direction of painting that it should dominate. The landscape style was all the rage, so much so that the 1988 Chinese animation "Shanshui Feelings" adopted the same art style and even the movie title.
