Chou Ying is good at figure painting, especially lady painting. He attached great importance to the description and depiction of historical themes, absorbed the brushwork of Ma and Yuan people in the Southern Song Dynasty, and had a strong brushwork. He is especially good at copying, drawing yellow paper with powder and writing. As for being rich and rich, it is exquisite and elegant, worthy of the ancients. He is especially good at expressing different objects with different strokes, either smooth or long and good at painting. The figures are accurate in modeling, strong in generalization, beautiful in image and smooth in lines. They are different from the old lettering habits and go straight to the Song Dynasty. They had a great influence on the later ladies' paintings in Youqiu, Yu and Qing Dynasty, and became a model of the beauty of ladies' paintings in the times. Later generations commented on his neat brushwork, delicate description, high spirits, exquisiteness and elegance, which made him outstanding in the Ming Dynasty. He is good at copying and has excellent skills. He mainly copied famous works in the Tang and Song Dynasties, such as Song People's Atlas and Xiao Zhao Gaozong Renaissance Map. If the former is compared with the original, it is almost difficult to distinguish between true and false. The painting method is mainly inherited from the "courtyard style" painting, green landscape painting and character story painting in Zhao Boju and the Southern Song Dynasty. The image is accurate, exquisite and elegant, the color is bright, the connotation is implicit, the color is elegant and beautiful, and it is integrated into the theme and pen and ink interest advocated by literati painting. The surviving paintings include People's Story, Spring Dawn in Han Palace, Fu, Red Cliff, Jade Cave Fairy Source, Taocun Caotang, Jiange and Songxi Map.
Chou Ying's landscape paintings learn from Zhao Boju and Liu Songnian, develop the tradition of "courtyard painting" of Li Tang, Liu Songnian, Ma Yuan and Xia Gui in the Southern Song Dynasty, integrate the strengths of the previous generation, that is, maintain the classic tradition of neatness and elegance, and blend in with the elegant and fresh taste, forming a new paradigm of work without plate and research without sweetness. There is also a kind of ink painting, which is transformed from Li Tang style and sometimes painted as a castle, which is particularly fine. I often make a forest map. People, birds and animals, mountains and rivers, Taiwan view, flags and banners, and military looks are all written by ancient sages and sages. After consideration, they can draw the desperate situation of things and win the success of art forests. Zhang Chou commented on the paintings in the workshop: "Rock master Wang Wei, woodcutter Li Cheng, character master Wu, and colorist Zhao Boju, all of whom have made great achievements". In the Ming Dynasty, Dong Qichang wrote his "Fairy Game Map": "The father is Zhao Boju's back, that is, the text is not exhausted." Chou Ying's successors are Shen Shuo, Cheng Huan, You Qiu and Shen Wan.
