He once served as the chief education official in Hubei Province and was later promoted to the position of Minister of Rites in Nanjing. Upon his death, he was posthumously honored as Grand Tutor of the Heir Apparent and posthumously titled Wenmin. He possessed extraordinary talent, excelling in poetry, prose, calligraphy, and painting. He was skilled in appraising artworks and was renowned for his landscape paintings, which were characterized by their clarity and elegance. He categorized landscape painting into the Northern and Southern Schools, revering the Southern School as the legitimate lineage of literati painting. His artistic style and theories had a profound influence on later generations. His calligraphy also formed its own distinct style. Initially, he studied the works of Yan and Yu, later abandoning Tang Dynasty calligraphy to pursue the styles of the Jin and Wei dynasties. He claimed to have found elegance in simplicity. During the Kangxi and Qianlong reigns of the Qing Dynasty, his works were highly esteemed, and his influence on the calligraphy world spanned several generations.
