From September, 2007 to June, 5438+10, he created a peony painting for the VIP room and Chunhua room of Tianjin Guest House-the first flower, the rich and expensive painting, and the painting of wisteria-purple fragrance.

He skillfully used stone patterns, blue and white and thick but not turbid ink to set off the bright and clean artistic conception of green mountains and green waters. His works are fresh and elegant, full of beauty and change, with a wide range of themes and a strong flavor of the times. His landscape paintings win with scenery, inject touching spatial images, naturally integrate feelings into landscape paintings, and create charming and unique landscapes.
