In the mid-1920s of this century, the author came to Beijing, the ancient capital renowned as a cultural cradle, which became an excellent classroom for him to study traditional painting. With both heart and hand following his intuition, he gradually elevated his skills on the foundation he had, and participated in various art exhibitions of the time with his masterpieces, eventually becoming a well-known painter. His "Small Freehand Painting" is exceptionally elegant, refined, and unrestrained, which is based on his correct painting approach, solid foundation, and meticulous research in both meticulous painting and realism. Additionally, he is also skilled in (Southern School) landscape painting. His works are not only determined by their artistic appeal but also reveal the level of the painter's proficiency, and the author is highly meticulous and rigorous in this regard. The composition is both unconventional and perilous, yet follows strict principles. The arrangement of various elements—such as density, movement, contrast, interweaving, complexity, and interplay—is deeply rooted in his ingenious craftsmanship. Diverse themes are arranged with exceptional ease and appropriateness. The variations in brushwork, combining both strength and gentleness, and the balance between skill and simplicity, give a delightful, fresh, and bright aesthetic pleasure!
