The meticulous figure painting is neat and gorgeous, so Tang Juan is a famous calligrapher and seal engraver in Qing Dynasty, Baweizu. In the picture, Baweizu, with a thin face and a red coat, sits on a gorgeous futon in Wen Lan, looking like a Buddha statue, which is very solemn. Min Zhen's meticulous figure line drawing comes from Li, and he is meticulous, which shows that Min Zhen is an acceptable and releasable figure painter. At that time, many people asked him to paint. Legend has it that the governor of Hunan and Hubei forced him to paint, and he fled Beijing and refused to give in. In Beijing, another official, Liang Xianhuan, ordered him to paint.
