He integrates "poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing" into one, and integrates epigraphy, calligraphy and painting into one furnace. Known as "the first stone drum seal script" and "the last peak of literati painting". He is a flag figure in painting, calligraphy and seal cutting, and has high attainments in poetry and epigraphy.
The theme of painting is mainly flowers, and occasionally there are landscapes. In the early stage, he studied under Ren Yi, and later under Zhao's painting method, drawing on the strengths of Xu Wei, Badashanren, Shi Tao and Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics. He also painted with seal script, official script and weeds, which made him rich in color, vitality and innovation in Gu Zhuo. His works attach importance to the whole and are magnificent, and advocate that "the bold should not be separated from the statutes, and the implicit should take care of the charm", which is full of stone spirit. Pay attention to the density of pen, ink, color, inscription and seal, and cooperate properly.
