Mountain-Water: Chinese Echoes in North West England

Shan shui 山水, literally ‘mountain water’, is a Chinese term for landscape and for forms of painting and poetry that engage with the cosmic dimension of the surrounding environment.Â

The North West of England, the Dales and the Lakes, is perhaps the part of the country in which this idea of landscape can be found. In this talk, Prof Gere looks at three figures who have connections to both China and the North West – Laurence Binyon, Chiang Yee and Li Yuan Chi – all of whom have expressed a deep connection to the landscape of the Lakes in their works.
