Brief Introduction of Fan Painters who Painted Plum Blossoms by Peasants in Qing Dynasty

Jin Nong (1687— 1763) was a famous painter and calligrapher in Qing dynasty. The word longevity door, named winter heart. There are many nicknames, such as Jinniu, Mrding, Gu Quan, Zhuquan, Qujiang Scholar, Shen Lian laity, Suolong Xianke, Shame Chunweng, Shou Daoshi, Jin and so on. My ancestral home is Renhe, Zhejiang (now Hangzhou) and I have lived in Yangzhou for a long time. I have never been an official in my life. Good at traveling, with footprints all over the north and south. Jin Nong had a rough life. His profound knowledge of poetry, calligraphy and printing has injected meaningful rhythm into his paintings; His extremely lonely and painful mental state has made his art more touching and admirable.
