It also reflects the vitality of life and is crafted by modern masters, whose level far surpasses that of old painting manuals, making it an excellent book for art enthusiasts. Yu Xining illustrates the section on freehand flower-and-bird painting in this book. The publication of a painting manual was originally intended to transmit artistic techniques. Technique is a crucial element in art, so the contribution of painting manuals is undeniable. In a painter's work, thanks to advancements in modern printing, the artist's techniques can be accurately reproduced in the manual, making the textual explanations somewhat redundant. Therefore, it is appropriate to discuss matters beyond technique in the preface of this manual.
