          There is a common character of these paintings: they all focus on the Xie Yi(写意) sprit of Chinese painting，their Bimo(笔墨) language is quite skilled but they do not continue the tradition, the inherited the Chinese philosophic though of harmony between human and nature, in another they also show the humanistic care of how human and nature get along with each other. Four seasons not only refer to the nature rhythm but also the rhythm of human kind. It reflects the essence of Chinese art, and the common ideal of human society currently. Just as the remarks of critics, the brush strokes of these artists are quite special, they understand the Chinese traditional art deeply; but they also inclined to modern visual way of express, they deconstruction and reorganize brush stroke of traditional Chinese painting to highlight the personal character model of painting. Compared to the experimental Chinese ink and wash paintings, manufactured Chinese paintings, their paintings contend more culture connotation. These new ideal of Chinese ink and wash paintings will construct a new aesthetic thought.

          A profound meaning of four seasons hided in notion, style, pattern, planed or unexpected, active or passive, not only for us but also the people in the future , for artists or audiences, four seasons are attractive and provided us large imaginary space.
