- He was especially good at painting flowers, birds, and people. His paintings of flowers and birds were vivid and lively, and his portraits were even better. For example, the woman in the Painting of Beautiful Women was like a fairy walking out of the painting. The image was realistic and full of beauty. He was also skilled in landscape painting. From his Seven Wonders of Landscape Painting, one could see his unique understanding and description of landscape. For example, in the poem describing landscape painting, he used delicate strokes to describe the quiet and beautiful scenery between mountains and rivers, such as " trees close to the spring head surrounded by green shade, houses cross the stream with yellow thatch ". He cleverly combined the elements of mountains, rivers, trees, houses, and so on to create a dream-like landscape world.
2. ** Representative works **
- There was the Painting of Beautiful Women, which showed his superb skills in portrait painting. The image of the woman in the painting was fascinating.

A straw cape was hanging from the bamboo poles of a boat with a black awning. There were tall reeds at the front and back of the boat. Although there was no person in the painting, and no drinking scene, it could vividly reproduce the scene of drunkenness. From the straw raincoat hanging on the boat, it could be seen that the old fisherman was drunk and lying on the boat.

** 2. Poetry **

1. ** Poetry style and emotional expression **
- His poems were full of yearning for a free life. For example, in the Song of the Peach Blossom Nunnery," Peach Blossom Nunnery in the Peach Blossom Cove, Peach Blossom Immortal descends from the Peach Blossom Nunnery. Peach Blossom Immortal planted peach trees and plucked peach blossoms to exchange for wine money. When sober, I sit in front of flowers; When drunk, I sleep under flowers. Half awake and half drunk, day after day, flowers fall and bloom year after year. I hope that I will die of old age in the wine and flowers, not willing to bow in front of the carriage and horse."It expressed a state of mind that was detached from the secular world, did not care about the troubles of the secular world, and only wanted to live his own life.
- There were also poems that expressed indifference to fame and fortune and feelings for mountains and rivers. For example, in Landscape Painting, there was a scene where a straw hut was built beside the water and a living person's book was stored on the desk. It depicted an ideal life of living in a thatched hut beside a river and a mountain. It not only had the yearning for the tranquility and freedom of nature, but also showed the thirst for knowledge and the reverence for the benevolence of doctors.
- There were also poems that used objects to express their aspirations, such as "Painted Chicken"."There is no need to plant a red crown on the head, and the body is covered with snow-white feathers. It walks valiantly and does not dare to speak lightly in its life." Although it usually didn't dare to call out, as long as it called out, thousands of households would open their doors. It seemed to be writing about a chicken, but in fact, it was expressing its own state of mind, its ambition after becoming famous at a young age, and its complex emotions in a repressive environment.
