He grew up among the literati of his hometown Hangzhou, where he became famous as a poet and also had an excellent eye for ancient art. From the age of 30, he traveled around the country with his poetry and calligraphy, and in his later years, around the age of 60, he lived in Yangzhou, where he became a representative of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou. He began to paint in earnest around the age of 60, and was skilled in painting bamboo, plum blossoms, horses, and other paintings in a unique style that broke away from the formalism of Southern School painting, and in his later years he also painted Buddhist paintings. He established his own style of calligraphy based on the rubbings of metal and stone he collected. He called his own style "seven-and-a-half-minute calligraphy" in reference to the eight-minute calligraphy style, and was skilled in his unique style of calligraphy. His representative work is the four-panel "Plum Blossoms in Ink" (Okinawa Mange Collection). His main works include "Collection of Gold Dongxin" and "Inscription on Painting Plum Blossoms."
