本片以唐代〈明皇幸蜀圖〉、北宋〈谿山行旅圖〉、南宋〈巖關古寺〉及元代〈鵲華秋色圖〉四幅院藏國寶畫作選件，呈現中國山水畫講求可行、可望、可遊、可居之意境，並演繹出山水畫的歷代風格演變。
開場的飛鳥所銜的小石頭，象徵中國山水畫家擅用的石青、石綠礦物性顏料，這顆礦石喚起了大地，也將片中世界妝點了繽紛色彩，而動畫主角亦幻化成各種自然物象，悠遊穿梭於古代山水場景間。
This film is based on four Chinese painting masterpieces in the National Palace Museum’s collection: Emperor Ming-huang’s Journey to Shu (Tang dynasty), Traveler’s Among Mountain’s and Streams (Northern Song dynasty), Ancient Temple in a Mountain Pass (Southern Song dynasty), Autumn Colors on the Ch’iao and Hua Mountains (Yuan dynasty). The film explores Chinese landscape painting’s capacity to be ambled within, gazed at, and abided in.
At the animation’s opening, a bird holds in its mouth a tiny azurite stone, which is typically found in pigments used by Chinese landscape painters. The stone awakens the earth and gives its creatures color.
