Features: Mr. Kang Shiyao (1922–1985) was the only painter in the [Chang'an School of Painting] renowned for his flower-and-bird paintings. Due to his modest personality and pioneering artistic style, he pursued his art in a quiet and unassuming manner, rarely displaying his masterpieces to the world. Today, when we see this painting manual, we recognize the unique and distinctive artist, his [upholding justice] independent style, and his exploration of seeking elegance from the ordinary, depth from simplicity, grandeur from the shallow, and transformation from craftsmanship. He truly deserves to be called an artist who dares to take on challenges.
