Jiang Xing Chu Xue Tu (Early Snow River View) describes the working scenes of people in fishing villages along the Yangtze River during the period of early snow. Forms of close-range and medium-range shots have been implemented, just like the current close-up photography technique. The use of this technique enlarges the characters in landscape paintings, condensing a large number of characters in a close scene, presenting in front of us, and makes these characters as regular key elements in the landscape paintings. This scroll reflects the pursuit of self-individuality in Southern Tang painting art, and reflects the civilian art style of real life. It has become the most contemporary feature of Southern Tang painting.

《江行初雪图》五代（公元907年-960年） 赵干
《江行初雪图》是五代时期画家赵干创作的一幅绢本水墨设色画作，该作品纵25.9cm，横376.5cm，现藏于台北故宫博物院。
《江行初雪图》全卷描写长江沿岸渔村初雪人们劳作的情景，独取近景、中景的表现形式，一如今日摄影中的特写技法。这种技法的使用把山水画中的人物进行了放大，使众多的人物浓缩在面前的一个近景中，使山水画中常常作为点缀的人物成为画面中的主角之一。此画卷反映出了南唐绘画艺术上追求自我个性，反映现实生活的平民化艺术风尚，成为了南唐绘画最具时代性的特征。
