Abstract
The Nine Songs, originally a chapter in Qu Yuan's work Chu Shu, depicting the love of the gods, has an important place in literary history for its romantic style and deep sense of family and country. Zhao Mengfu's "Nine Songs - Mountain Ghosts" has been praised and discussed by later generations for its unique expressions of the image of "mountain ghosts". Because of the "common sense" of the beauty, many artists have different artistic expressions of the image of "mountain ghosts" in The Nine Songs - Mountain Ghosts. Zhao Mengfu, with his unique image of the "Mountain Ghost", demonstrates his unique understanding of the Nine Songs - Mountain Ghosts. This article focuses on the psychological context of Qu Yuan's and Zhao Mengfu's works from the creator's perspective, and combines the basic principles of art theory and painting theory to find the artistic mindset corresponding to this psychological context, which has certain implications for contemporary artistic creation.
