It also illustrates the influence of Zen doctrine on the Chinese literati painting, especially the ink and wash paintings of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, as well as the relationship between the two. Participants of the advocates of literati painting in the Song Dynasty were generally influenced by the thought of Zenyue, which further explored the creation of paintings and made painting an important way to cultivate their morality and sustenance. In the Yuan Dynasty, the literati paintings continued to develop and the painting was still intended. In the works, the traces of Zen Buddhism could be more clearly captured.
