During the reign of the Wan-li Emperor (1573-1620), he became famous as a painter and calligrapher. His ink-line drawings were especially fine, and his paintings of Buddhist figure subjects, with their strange and even weird forms, turned away from accepted styles. His landscape paintings, which strictly avoided copying old models, are examples of great originality. Most of his hanging scroll compositions center around clusters of needle-sharp peaks pierced by strings of waterfalls, dense woods gathered on mountain tops and monastic retreats perched on precipitous cliffs with clouds on all sides. His bizarre works have a dreamlike quality.
