The painting method of writing peony has a long history, which can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty in ancient China. The Tang Dynasty was a period when bird and flower painting gradually became an independent and specialized painting discipline, and flowers such as peony and peony became important subjects for bird and flower painting.

During the Tang Dynasty, many painters began to try to express peonies in a stylistic way. This painting method uses shape to write God, summarizes the image of peonies into concise lines and colors, and pursues the rhythm of ink and brushwork and the expression of mood. Among them, Yang Zihua was one of the famous painters of the Tang Dynasty, who specialized in painting horses and dragons, and is also regarded as one of the earliest painters who painted peonies.

By the Ming Dynasty, pictorial peony gradually matured. Painters of the Ming Dynasty, such as Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming and Xu Wei, applied the realistic painting method to the expression of peony and formed a unique style. In their paintings, the peonies were more vivid and natural, with drenching brushwork and far-reaching meanings.

The Qing Dynasty was the heyday of pictorial peony painting. Painters in the Qing Dynasty further developed and innovated on the basis of their predecessors, forming a variety of schools and styles. Among them, the "boneless" painting method represented by Yun Shouping had an important influence on the development of pictorial peony. In his paintings, the peonies are elegant, fresh and light, and the brushwork is concise but full of interest.

In modern times, the method of pictorial peony painting is still loved and respected by many painters. They continue to innovate and develop on the basis of tradition, forming many different styles and ways of expression. Some painters focus on the use of brush and ink and the exploration of techniques, pursuing the effect of both form and spirit; some painters pay more attention to the expression of emotion and the creation of mood, so that the viewer can feel the vitality and beauty of the peony blossom.
