Cao introduced
Cao was a famous minority painter in the Northern Qi Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Originally from the Western Region Cao State (Samarkand area), he was an official diaspora doctor. Famous paintings in past dynasties quoted lawyers from China and North Korea who wrote a painful record of three treasures, saying that "Northern Qi was the most industrious and could paint Brahma".
Monk Yan Long's "After Painting Record" commented on Cao Shi as "learning from Zhou Yan, bamboo trees and mountains, foreign Buddha statues, and not competing with the times".

" This change is more meaningful.
