Wen Zhengming was born into a scholarly family in Changzhou, Jiangsu. Like Shen Zhou, he was also a leader of the "Wumen School of Painting." As a child, Wen Zhengming did not appear particularly intelligent; on the contrary, he seemed somewhat dull. However, his father had high expectations for him. As he grew older, Wen Zhengming's talent finally reached a point of sudden realization, astonishing the world. He excelled in landscape, figure, and flower-and-bird painting, especially landscape painting, which dominated the art scene. His talent was extraordinary and unparalleled in ancient times. Wen Zhengming's representative works include "Tea Gathering at Huishan," "East Garden," and others.
