From the viewpoint of forest landscape, trueness is represented by the outwardness of aesthetics objects, which means the arousing of people’s emotion by forest landscape. From the viewpoint of forest image, trueness is represented by people’s sincere emotion, which means the fusion of people’s emotion and forest landscape. From the viewpoint of forest artistic conception, trueness is represented by people’s sincere disposition and inspiration, which means the unity of human and nature. Trueness is not only the logic origination of forest aesthetics, but also run through the whole process of forest aesthetics, and embodies the form, content and spirit of forest aesthetics.
