That was very interesting, and very much what I was after! I think perhaps including a more precise definition of what you mean by 'space' and by 'perspective' could be beneficial, as those terms have acquired such divergent meanings over time. As for recommendations, I have not read it, but I've been told that the Mustard Seed Garden Manual is also a good source for East Asian methods of depth representation.
Thanks, and you're right on both counts. Chinese systems of depiction and"perspective" are often compared to European ones: it's an iffy comparison, but it's traditional in North American textbooks (like the new Global History of Art published by Thames and Hudson). And as for defining perspective: yes, I am planning a separate video for that.
