Representative figures and works of flower and bird painting

The representative figures and works of flower-and-bird painting are as follows for reference:

Xu Xi was an outstanding painter in the Southern Tang Dynasty in the Five Dynasties. He changed the previous methods of meticulous sketch and coloring, and created his own "drop ink method", that is, painting with thick ink and a little miscellaneous color, the color does not hinder the ink, and the handwriting is not covered. Shen Kuo in Song Dynasty described Xu Xi's paintings as "extremely thick brushwork, only slightly painted with Danfen, magnificent and meaningful".

His works have a "fresh and free and easy" style because of "meaning surpassing the ancients". It is called "Xu Xiye No.1". His main works are Yutang, Fuchun and Snow Bamboo Map.

Wang Mian, a famous painter in Yuan Dynasty, was known as the figure stamp, the stone-boiling farmer and the plum blossom master. Famous for painting plums, he fled with a pen and got married.

"Momei Tujuan" is painted with branches of Momei, with simple and elegant brushwork, beautiful branches and momentum, and fresh and pleasing composition. With proper ink, flowers bloom, unfold and sprout clearly and freely, full of vitality. His pen is very strong, and crochet has created a unique frustration method. Although it is not colored, it can vividly depict the smile of plum blossom.

Cui Bai, Zi Zixi, was an outstanding painter in the Northern Song Dynasty. His flower-and-bird painting combines freehand brushwork with portrait, which is a harmonious and unique style of painting in the Five Dynasties.

The expressive force of pen and ink usage is quite rich, meticulous, thick and vigorous, dry and wet, and light in color.
