This paper looks at some of the most famous landscape paintings of ancient China of composition and elements to find out how they have represent relationships of humans and the natural landscape. The most critical elements of the landscape paintings of ancient China include: bridge, boat, and human beings. We see the attitudes towards natural landscape of ancient Chinese have a course of sublimation as the following trends: (1) being in awe of the natural landscape; (2) getting close to the natural landscape; and (3)the approach to humans of nature itself. And these three together form the theory of the deep meaning of the ideal environment model for Chinese people. The paper is illustrated with pictures of the paintings taken as examples.
Keywords: Chinese landscape painting, humans and nature, living environment
