"Solitary Temple Amid Clearing Peaks" (Chinese: 晴峰萧寺图) is a renowned ink and wash landscape painting by the eminent Northern Song Dynasty artist Li Cheng (919–967). This masterpiece is a quintessential example of the shan shui (mountain-water) style that dominated Chinese landscape painting during this period. Li Cheng, a pivotal figure in the development of Chinese landscape art, is celebrated for his ability to infuse his works with a sense of spirituality and poetic grandeur, and "Solitary Temple Amid Clearing Peaks" is no exception.

The painting depicts a serene and harmonious natural scene, characterized by towering mountains shrouded in mist, with a solitary temple nestled amidst the peaks. The composition is meticulously structured, with the use of "atmospheric perspective" to create a sense of depth and vastness. The mountains are rendered with fine, delicate brushstrokes, conveying their rugged texture, while the mist adds a layer of ethereal beauty and suggests the transient nature of the physical world.

Li Cheng's work reflects the philosophical and religious ideals of the time, particularly the Daoist and Buddhist concepts of harmony between humanity and nature. The solitary temple, often interpreted as a metaphor for spiritual retreat and enlightenment, serves as a focal point that invites contemplation. The painting is not only a visual representation of the landscape but also an embodiment of the artist's meditative engagement with the environment.

"Solitary Temple Amid Clearing Peaks" is celebrated for its technical excellence and profound aesthetic qualities. It has had a lasting influence on the development of landscape painting in China, inspiring generations of artists. The painting is considered a national treasure, and while the original work's whereabouts are currently unknown, it is known through several copies and recorded in historical art literature. As a testament to Li Cheng's legacy, the painting continues to be studied and admired for its artistic significance and cultural importance.
