China’s secret soul connection to nature are The Yellow Mountains (Huangshan).
Emperors, hermits, artists and philosophers went into retreat here.
Numberless works of art, paintings, poetry, pieces of music, philosophical treatises were created here, or in memory of the impressions of these imagination startling ranges, most parts of the year hidden in clouds. Ageless pine trees shaped by storms and weather survive as models for bonzais. What generations of Chinese artists painted, here you find it,
their styles seem having been pure naturalism.
The only permament phenomena of our world, the changes of and in all, here you see them
as a never ending dance and play of the forces of nature.
Days in clouds and rain and wind.
Huangshan is in every Chinese’ heart.
Therefore a part of the national character, a raw material of Ethnology.
