Masterpieces of peony traditional Chinese painting

The famous peony paintings are as follows:

Yu Zhizhen's peony is famous for its preciousness and was also called the national flower in the Tang Dynasty. Its flowers are beautiful and colorful, and are respected as the king of flowers by the world. Peony is beautiful, but it is extremely difficult to draw well. If it's just colorful, it's vulgar, especially when using meticulous painting.

Wang Xuetao (1903- 1982) is a master of modern flower-and-bird painting in China. The flowers and birds in his works are full of freehand brushwork charm, unique style and interesting.

Yu Feian (1889 ~ 1959) is a famous meticulous painter and calligrapher. His meticulous flower-and-bird painting, with its vivid modeling, vigorous bones and strong colors, has formed a strong and vigorous style, showing vigorous vitality and reviving the "sketching" tradition of flower-and-bird painting in Song Dynasty.

The appearance of the name "Peony" marks the beginning of peony cultivation history. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica in the Ming Dynasty said: "Peony is named' Mu' (which means it can reproduce asexually), and its name is added as' Dan'." ?

In the Sui Dynasty, the number and scope of peony planting began to expand gradually. At that time, peony was introduced and cultivated in the royal gardens and the gardens of dignitaries, which initially formed a concentrated viewing scene. "Sui Su Zhiwen" said: "Peony blooms at five o'clock in Qingming Festival." This shows that peony is a bigger ornamental plant. ?
