Compact composition, bright colors and full of joy.
Painting old fishermen and young soldiers can be understood as a father-son relationship, or as a broader military-civilian relationship, such as a father-son relationship. In short, this painting successfully expresses the fish and water situation of the military and civilians.
The paintings of other sailors, the noisy sea and the colors of sailors generally emphasize the atmosphere caused by colors and have a stronger sense of decoration.

Most of these works are ethnic customs and historical figures, with strong sense of form, exaggerated and simplified images, concise lines and exquisite pen use, which not only makes them concise and lively,
It also means that the calligraphy pen turns sideways.
