At that time, four Song Dynasty literati who were called "Su Huang Mi Cai" made great artistic achievements. Among them, Mi Fei was praised many times by Song Huizong. A man who is praised by the emperor, how high is his artistic attainments?
Mi Fei was a calligrapher, painter and painting theorist in the Northern Song Dynasty. Later generations called him, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian and Cai Xiang Song Sijia. Mi Fei is good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, fine identification, calligraphy and painting, and founded the "Midian Landscape". Mi Fei is an authentic calligrapher, appraiser and collector. Song Huizong was appointed as a doctor of calligraphy and painting, which shows that Mi Fei's accomplishments in calligraphy and painting are highly recognized by Song Huizong.

Mi Fei is good at painting dead wood and bamboo stones, but he is better at painting with mountains and water. In terms of calligraphy, he is good at calligraphy such as seal, official script, script, line and cursive script.
