He is the author of Poems Collected from Sanlian Pavilion and Printing of Zhiyuxian Pavilion. Handed down from ancient times, there are "Running Script Axis" and "Running Script Seven Poems Axis". During the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods in the Qing Dynasty, the wind of textual research prevailed, and some special disciplines such as exegesis, writing, epigraphy and phonology made breakthroughs, which was called "Ganjia School". Many people have studied epigraphy in the past dynasties, and academic achievements have been published continuously. Chen Hongshou, one of the eight schools of Xiling, is one of the epitaphs who practiced it. He was born in the thirty-third year of Qianlong, was active in Jiaqing and died in Daoguang for two years, which just witnessed the turning point of the Qing Dynasty from prosperity to decline. Chen Mansheng's extraordinary artistic achievements are based on his profound artistic accomplishment, unique personality and artistic thought. Zeng Ri said: "Poetry, calligraphy and painting don't need to be very home, so nature can be seen." Simple, natural and sincere feelings are its artistic purpose, and gentleness and sincerity are its nature.

All show an open mind. Mansheng likes roaming, crossing Yan Qi Chu Yue, and his hometown Qiantang is unforgettable. Together with his good friend Su Causeway, he made occasional walks, ran tigers and tried tea, built agate temples and wrote poems on Baoshi Mountain, which made many famous works. He lived in "Sanglian Li Guan", where the banquet was full of music, poetry and paintings, leaving many stories. I once painted a small picture frame of an autumn chrysanthemum teapot with the title: "When the tea is ripe and the chrysanthemums are in bloom, you can enjoy Qiu Ren. Will you come? " Funny and meaningful, with a good sense of humor. Wonderful articles are unremarkable, and leisurely words become magnificent and graceful, which shows that it is easy! The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shanghai Museum and Nanjing Museum jointly held the exhibition "Books, Paintings, Seals and Pots: Chen Hongshou Art". The exhibits collected nearly 100 pieces of Chen Hongshou's calligraphy, painting, seal cutting and clay pot works from three major museums and local public and private collections, and published a special research issue, which deeply discussed Chen Hongshou's life, friends, art, pot making and pot inscription, aiming at systematically introducing Chen Hongshou's various artistic features and achievements.

Besides epigraphy and calligraphy, Chen Hongshou is best known for designing teapots. He is the leader of the second generation of Zisha Pot Masters in China, Chen Hongshou and Yang Pengnian in Jiaqing and Daoguang periods in the middle of Qing Dynasty. Advocate the innovation of pot making, because he advocates "poetry, calligraphy and painting, not very homely", but we must see "the interest of nature" He integrated this artistic concept into purple sand pottery. Form two major contributions to the pot industry. The first contribution is to combine poetry, calligraphy and painting with pottery in zisha pot, and write poetry and sculpture on the pot with a bamboo knife. The second contribution, with his own talent, he improvised many novel styles of teapot at will, which brought great vitality to the innovation of teapot. His cooperation with Yang Pengnian is exemplary. What we are seeing now is the teapot made in Jiaqing period. The handle and bottom of the teapot are printed with the words "Peng Nian" or "Amantoshi", both designed by Chen Hongshou and made in Yang Pengnian. Later, people called it "Mansheng Pot". Chen Hongshou makes Zisha pottery more cultured. Although the production technology is not as exquisite as that in the middle of Ming Dynasty, it has a great influence on later generations. He cooperated with Yang Pengnian, a famous pot maker at that time, and wrote it by him or his friends. This kind of teapot, full of literati's artistic flavor, was known as the "full-born teapot" at that time, especially for later generations. There are three albums of Chen Hongshou in the Shanghai Museum, with similar compositions. They are all painted with teapot and chrysanthemum. The picture is simple, delicate and lovely, which shows Manson's obsession with pots. These three paintings have the same inscription: "Tea is ripe, chrysanthemums are in bloom, and Qiu Ren is appreciated. Will you come? " Moreover, this picture is accompanied by an inscription, which emphasizes the exquisiteness of Yang Pengnian's pot-making and his own addiction to pot-making, which is particularly rare.
