Affected by Confucianism sincechildhood, I like to lead a simple life and be indifferent to fame and fortune.However, I have great passions for  landscape paintings.

　　In order tosketch, I have traversed the length and breadth of the land, created manypainting for Lingnan, Sichuan, and Taihang,  I have been diving into thejoy of precipitous cliff in Sichuan, unique sights in Tibet, grand beauty inTaihang, they all look magnificent and marvelous in my paintings.

　　Both greatmajesty and primitive beauty appear. In recent years, I combined  westernpaintings with Chinese painting, colors and inks are used with each other in mypaintings, and give full expression of landscape with good results.

　　Tactilesensation and witty forms are hence increased, which help to build up differentflavor.

　　I was born in Peony Town, , My study and knowledge on peony can last as long as over 50 years. When Icombine inks from Chinese painting with colors in western painting, I candevelope my won re - color styles.

　　The re-color peonies in my paintings giveout a strong and unique visual impact, like a drifting spring, they haveheightened passions of life, they are as magnanimous as life. This painting waydemonstrates nobility of peony very well, reveals the status as the king of theflowers in our eyes, so they are very popular among the collector home andabroad.
