He early resided in Hangchow but later took up residence in Yangchow to sell his paintings. He excelled at a variety of subjects, including figures, landscapes, birds-and-flowers, and grasses-and-insects. Although contemporary with the “Eight Eccentrics of Yangchow”, his brushwork lacks the bold bravura usually associated with them, making him a Yangchow painter in his own manner. This painting, donated to the National Palace Museum by Ms. Chang Wei-chen, includes representations of pawlonia and emerald bamboo. Repeated pairs of birds are in the branches roosting and calling. Done in light colors that are both wet and dry, the work has a beautifully light and bright spirit to it.

He first resided in Hangzhou but later moved to Yangzhou to sell his paintings. He excelled at a variety of subjects, including figures, landscapes, birds and flowers, and insects and grasses. Although contemporary with the Eight Eccentrics, his brushwork lacks the bold bravura usually associated with them, making him a Yangzhou painter in his own manner. This painting, donated to the National Palace Museum by Ms. Zhang Weizhen, depicts paulonia and emerald bamboo together. Repeated pairs of birds are in the branches roosting or calling. Done in light colors both wet and dry, the work has a beautifully light and sprightly spirit.
