At the age of six, I learned hundreds of poems, studied books at the age of seven, wrote tablets at the age of ten, and entered the officialdom at the age of twenty-one. He is really a precocious eccentric. In calligraphy, he is one of the "four calligraphers of Song Dynasty" (Su, Mi, Huang and Cai), which is second to none. His writing style is bold and unconstrained, and his statutes are rigorous. Su Dongpo praised him for being "true, careless, courteous and impressed, like wind and horse, leisurely and happy".
On the other hand, he also created the method of "Mijia Yunshan" in landscape painting, made good use of "fuzzy" pen and ink to create the misty scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and reproduced layers of mountains with scattered thick ink, Jiao Mo, horizontal dots and dots, which is called "Midian" in the world. It is admired by many painters in later generations and imitated by others. Together with his son Mi Youren, he is called "Mill" or "Big and Small Rice".
Father and son are collectors and connoisseurs of calligraphy and painting. Being good at mountains and rivers often hides the smoke trees in the wind and rain. Miffy is broad-minded, unconventional and free from vulgarity. Although he lives in Wang Qia, his painting of Yunshan smoke tree looks like Dong Yuan, but it is actually derived from cursive script and has endless fun. Natural smoke clouds appear, and the mountains are pressing, forming the so-called "rice spot landscape". Its paintings are ink drops, cigarette covers and simple trees, and the number is "Mi's Yunshan".
His works include Yun Qi Architectural Map, Yanshan Map, Spring Mountain Haze Map, etc. Calligraphy includes "Participation in Politics" and so on. Every word of his running script is exquisite, full of vitality and fluency. He is the author of "Jin Bao Ying Guang Ji", "Painting History" and "Painting Review".
