Bashan people are good at painting landscapes, flowers and birds. His paintings are unrestrained and unstructured. They are vigorous and powerful, full of vitality and vitality. Their compositions are incomplete but complete. He does not consider the number of flowers and birds, but pays attention to the position and momentum in the layout.

Bada Shanren is good at poetry and has exquisite calligraphy, so even if he doesn't have many paintings, his poems will be enough for artistic conception. His paintings make people feel small but many. This is artistic ingenuity. Bada Shanren is different from others, but both are "moisturized".
