摘要：The Southern Song aesthetics of simplicity, detachment, and reverence for nature exerted a profound influence on East Asian ink painting. Yet existing scholarship has limited adoption of systematic quantitative approaches. This study applies a machine learning-based image block entropy model to quantitatively examine compositional patterns in figure paintings by Liang Kai, Muqi, and Sessh & umacr; T & omacr;y & omacr;. The analysis reveals shared technical and iconographic tendencies, including consistently lower-central placement of the primary subject, prominent upper inscriptions, and deliberately sparse backgrounds-features that together establish a "lowered center of gravity" composition distinct from the conventions of court painting. Sessh & umacr; adapted these traditions, utilizing bold lines and intricate detail, which resonated with Japanese aesthetic sensibilities. Compared to academic rigidity, Sessh & umacr;'s compositions emphasize spontaneity, reflecting Zen improvisation. By integrating computational modeling with art-historical inquiry, this study advances a replicable quantitative framework for analyzing the cross-cultural transmission and transformation of Zen painting styles.
