Twelve traditional figures of Qian Huian, a famous scholar of Shanghai School.

Qian Huian (1833-1911), a newcomer to Chang, whose real name is Jisheng, whose real name is Lu Qing fisherman, whose real name is Qingxi woodcutter, whose real name is Shuangguanlou, whose real name is Jiangsu Baoshan (now Shanghai), is one of the representative painters of Shanghai school.

His figure paintings are good at taking folk blessings and auspicious stories as themes, and his works are quite willing to be borrowed by New Year pictures workshops all over the country. In the middle of Guangxu, he was invited to go north; More than 40 samples of New Year pictures were published for Tianjin Yangliuqing and Ai Zhuzhai, including A Dream of Red Mansions, You Are All Happy, Xie Ting Yong Xu and Tang Dynasty Poems, which were widely distributed and went deep into the northern countryside, which is tantamount to communicating Shanghai-style paintings to the north through printing. Many disciples; Among them are Shen Xinhai, Xu and Xie Xianou.

In the first year (1909), with Gao Juzhi, Pu, Wu Changshuo, Yang Dongshan, Cheng, Wang Yiting, Zhang Shannan, etc. , launched the Yuyuan Painting and Calligraphy Society in Deyue Building, with hundreds of members, and Qian was promoted as the first president for "painting for a long time" and "respecting morality".

This set of screens is 157.6 cm long and 39.8 cm wide, each with six screens, and draws auspicious stories according to the zodiac. The collection of baby plays, ladies, Taoist explanations and animals is very lively. Although they are independent, the composition echoes each other implicitly, and they like to overlap the characters to increase the complexity of the picture. The lines are folded like iron hooks and silver hooks, and the ups and downs are distinct.

The figure's face image is its unique style, with plump face, small up and down and big in the middle, which looks like a olive, so it is very lucky. Line drawing is a thin-line mouse-tail dry pen with many folds and potentials, which converges vertically and rarely radiates horizontally. It is cautious, with more strength and less spirit. These characteristics are very suitable for the tastes of fashionable citizens, but they are stereotyped and lack typicality and individuality, which is also their shortcoming.
