Gu Kaizhi, a famous painter in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was born in a famous family. He is good at poetry and calligraphy, and he is versatile. His painting and painting theory have made great achievements and left a deep impression on the history of painting in China. He is frank and honest, but he is also a little demented. In addition, he is very talented in painting and poetry, so people call him "three unique skills", namely, infatuation, painting and talent.

There are a lot of paintings by Gu Kaizhi, among which the most famous ones are "The True Story of the Woman" and "The Goddess of Luo", all of which were later copied. His theoretical works on painting include Liu Zan of Wei Jinsheng, On Painting, Painting Yuntai Mountain, etc., which provided a profound knowledge base for the painting creation in the history of China.
The Map of Women's History was originally a treasure of the imperial palace in the Qing Dynasty, but the Yuanmingyuan was burnt down and fell into the hands of the British. The works are mainly based on Women's History Proverbs written by Zhang Hua, a writer in the Jin Dynasty, and mainly talk about how women cultivate themselves. The work is created in sections according to the paragraph content of the article, which is somewhat similar to the current comics. This work pays great attention to the expression of the inner spiritual world of the characters. Later, people called this simple and quiet line without any color "line drawing". The drawing method of "line drawing" is also called the basic skill of painting.
Today's preserved pictures of Luo Shen Fu are copies of the Song Dynasty, but they still retain the painting style of Wei and Jin Dynasties, and are the works closest to the original works. This painting is based on Cao Zhi's Ode to Luoshen, which expresses a beautiful love story between the author and Luoshen. Gu Kaizhi's "Goddess of Loftu" gave full play to his super imagination and made the artistic conception of the original very poetic.
