Moving beyond Liu Songnian, Ma Yuan, and Xia Gui, the new style was further developed and matured on the foundation laid by Li Tang, becoming bolder and more innovative. The artistic achievements of Li, Liu, Ma, and Xia marked another peak in painting after the Northern Song dynasty. Additionally, painters like Li Song, Chen Rong, Gong Kai, and others expanded their creative paths and techniques, reflecting rural and urban life, as well as mythological legends. Meanwhile, the emergence of Liang Kai's simple brushwork in portraiture also added vitality to the Southern Song painting scene.
