CORE DEFINITION

Unlike Western focal perspective, Chinese painting uses multiple viewpoints, allowing simultaneous presentation of scenes seen from different angles, such as 'moving scenery with steps' in long scrolls. Scaffolding role: multiple viewpoints are not chaos but richness. The limitation of a single viewpoint is that only one angle can be seen; scattered perspective allows integrating multiple perspectives in the same work for a more complete understanding.

Scattered perspective is a common method in Chinese painting: the viewpoint is not fixed, and observations from multiple positions are integrated into one picture, breaking the single time-space of focal perspective. It emphasizes a holistic grasp through 'roaming observation'.
