Influenced by Wu, Huang Tingjian, a calligrapher, later created thin and sharp postures such as "breaking iron and breaking gold". It is said that he painted birds with raw lacquer, and the red beans stood out from the paper silk, which was very vivid. He has described all kinds of exotic flowers and birds, named "Xuanhe Ruilan Book". He asked his flowers to draw specific patterns in different seasons and at different times, and he also had certain attainments in figures, landscape paintings and so on.
