Date of birth and death unknown. Painter of the Southern Song Dynasty in the 5th century. Born in Wu (Jiangsu Province). He served as a painter in the imperial court during the reign of Emperor Ming (465-472). In his "Luo of Ancient Paintings" by Xie He, a painting commentator from the Southern Qi Dynasty, he listed him as the greatest painter, commenting that "Painting has six principles, and few painters have mastered them, except for Lu Tanwei and Wei Xie." Although his works no longer exist, according to Zhang Yanyuan's "Records of Famous Paintings of All Ages" of the Tang Dynasty, he painted people, animals, and other subjects, and developed the loose lines of Gu Kaizhi to create continuous, unbroken "one-stroke paintings," with sharp, smooth, beautiful, and original lines, which earned him unparalleled fame.

生没年不詳。中国、5世紀、南朝宋(そう)の画家。呉(ご)（江蘇(こうそ)省）の人。明帝（在位465～472）のとき画家として宮中に侍従した。南斉(なんせい)の画論家、謝赫(しゃかく)の『古画品録』は彼を最高の画家としてあげ、「画には六法があり、これを備えた画家は少ないが、ただ陸探微、衛協(えいきょう)だけは備えている」と評した。作品は現存しないが、唐の張彦遠(ちょうげんえん)『歴代名画記』によれば、人物、畜獣などを描き、顧愷之(こがいし)風の遊糸線(ゆうしせん)を発展させて連綿と続いて切れ目のない「一筆画」を創造し、その描線は切れ味がよく、滑らかな美しさと目新しさがあって、たぐいない名声があったと伝えている。
