Although there were thick and light ink paintings in the Northern Song Dynasty, compared with later generations, the ink paintings on rice paper were more varied and still dominated by thick ink. Therefore, Mr. Huang said in his inscription that "Jiao Mo was mostly used in the Northern Song Dynasty". In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Cheng Ai liked to paint Jiao Mo, mostly with ink for thirst, supplemented by ink painting.
From the contemporary Mr. Zhang Ding, the situation of painting purely with Jiao Mo has gradually increased. However, compared with ink painting, only a few Jiao Mo painters in China, such as Cui Zhenkuan, Zhao Yaming, Xiang Weiguo, Zhou Guanghui, Chen Mowu, Chen Huoxue and Yin Dade, painted with Jiao Mo, so it is very difficult to inherit Jiao Mo's ancient painting method.
