Ping(pingtiao; pingzhang)（屏（屏条；屏障））
Sets of four, six, eight or twelve narrow vertical scroll
paintings to be hung together. The flowers of the four seasons
are typical subjects.
Pingtoudian（平头点）
Even-head dots, fine short horizontal strokes, used for
forests and groups of trees secondary to the composition
and hence not individually drawn.
Pingyuan（平远）
Level distance (one of the three types of mountain perspective),
the view from near mountains across to distant mountains.
The idea is of blending together, of vanishing in mists.
The effect is one of serenity; colors partake of both clarity
and obscurity; figures are blended and indistinct.
