Features: The tiger is a common auspicious motif in Chinese painting. As early as the Han Dynasty, there were folk legends of fierce tigers guarding homes, with tiger imagery appearing on storefronts, stone carvings, and family hall murals. By the Tang and Song dynasties, legends of the god of wealth, Zhao Gongming, and Bi Gan were added, enriching the theme of prosperity. To this day, tiger-themed paintings remain enduringly popular among the Chinese people, and the art of brush-and-ink tiger paintings has always been favored by art enthusiasts. Mr. Zong Wanhua, the painter, has dedicated years to studying the techniques of brush-and-ink tiger painting, creating a large number of works in this genre. Especially his small-scale fan paintings stand out for their vivid and meticulous realism and elegant, ancient charm. They hold significant reference value for readers interested in learning about and researching tiger-themed art.
