Of making thinking skills better

I looked at the cover picture of the book Chinese painting techniques for exquisite watercolours. It was a red-yellow coloured picture of a fish typical in somepools for decoration. It was kind of soft in approach like a Chinese person whose thinking isn't so sure. It came to my mind that if such a person would look at the Finnish undergrowth plant "pujo" while he/she talks and thinks, would it produce good quality thinking and healthy strenght of a character, at least across time, if the plant is valued and grows as individuals like trees in the middle of grass instead of grass like dense. If such plant grows in China that is.
