Features: Anonymous paintings and signed works are no different in terms of painting art. However, in the process of being passed down, they have different fates. Generations of collectors and art historians have focused primarily on famous works, especially those by renowned masters, while often disregarding anonymous paintings. As a result, under such circumstances, a large number of ancient anonymous paintings disappeared during the transmission process.

The great collector Xiang Zijing made significant contributions to the recording and circulation of anonymous paintings.
