Thuja works by Sun Baoyuan, a descendant of the Qi School
Because it is difficult to observe the original ecology of Thuja, and the shape and grain of Thuja are extremely difficult to express, there are very few painters who painted Thuja in the past dynasties, and even occasional dabblers draw only similar shapes without meaning. In this era, because of the development of science and technology, it is easier to observe Thuja, and the cognition of Thuja is becoming clearer and clearer, thus some painters who painted Thuja appeared. Perhaps because the painter's observation is not in place, or his understanding of Thuja is not very thorough, the Thuja he painted always feels something wrong! However, the Thuja of Sun Baoyuan, a painter, can be described as both divine and shapely, which not only shows the shape, grain and texture of Thuja incisively and vividly, but also reveals the snow and time that Thuja experienced through pictures. This kind of revelation is not only the effect of the technique, but also the result of Sun Baoyuan's research on Thuja. Because only by understanding the shape and spirit of Thuja, and the snow and snow that Thuja has experienced, can the charm of Thuja be revealed in the pen and ink.

Yabai paintings are now more and more popular among collectors. Therefore, the number of painters who painted Thuja has gradually increased. However, it only enriches the decoration market of calligraphy and painting, and the collection market is still the leader of Sun Baoyuan. Because now, most of the artists who have entered the creation of Thuja have turned to Thuja because of the high popularity of Thuja paintings. They have not studied Thuja deeply, and have not made some detailed investigations on Thuja's culture and folklore. They just search for a picture on the Internet or find a Thuja painting to copy. Therefore, the Thuja paintings they have painted can only be regarded as decorative paintings, which can satisfy the decoration market, but cannot enter the collection market.

As Sun Baoyuan said, if you don't go into the life course of Yabai for thousands of years, you can't feel the spirit of Yabai, and you can't get an insight into its life imprint. Then you can't draw a good Thuja, and you can't draw a Thuja with both god and shape and profound meaning. It can be described as: "A thousand years' soul has been in love with Yabai".
