Ming Dynasty painter, whose real name is Yu Le, was born in Yinxian (now Ningbo, Zhejiang). He is famous for his flower-and-bird paintings. He first learned Bian Jingzhao's meticulous brushwork and was also influenced by Lin Liang's ink painting. Later, it imitated the works of famous artists in the Tang and Song Dynasties, so it was self-contained and unique in the contemporary era. There are two aspects in his flower-and-bird painting style: First, meticulous painting, exquisite and rich, painting cranes, peacocks, mandarin ducks and the like, supplemented by trees and stones in the beach, flowing springs and other backgrounds, which are both statutes and full of vitality. The other is freehand brushwork in ink and wash, simple and unrestrained, close to the style of Lin Liang. He is also good at figures and landscapes, and is a master painter of Ma Yuan and Xia Gui in the Southern Song Dynasty. His flower-and-bird painting style had a great influence inside and outside the court at that time, and there were successors.

During the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, he entered Rendian, and the official was the governor of Jinwei. He is a representative painter of courtyard flower-and-bird painting in Ming Dynasty, and he is as famous as Bian Jingzhao and Liang Lin. His painting style can be divided into two categories, one is mainly ink and wash, with a slightly lighter color and luxurious brushwork, and the other is rich in color, harmonious in use and full of interest in court decoration. The more direct reason why Lv Ji changed from light ink painting to meticulous painting was to adapt to the different tastes of different emperors. Specifically, hongzhi emperor Zhu Shitang's appreciation interest is different from that of his father, Emperor Chenghua Zhu Jianshen, which leads to Lv Ji's painting of phoenixes, pheasants, cranes, peacocks and mandarin ducks, with flowers, trees and stones mixed and full of vitality. Both meticulous painting and ink painting can be freehand brushwork, and they are good at combining. Lv Ji studied Tang and Song Dynasties and Bian Jingzhao at the same time, and formed his own style. His flowers and birds are colorful and full of vitality, and he is known as the first flower and bird painter in Ming Dynasty. It is said that Lv Ji often used fable techniques in his paintings to persuade the emperor. Knowing his intention, the emperor once said, "Work is done by art, and Lv Ji owns it." His representative works include Double Pheasants in the Spring Festival, Birds in the Mountain of Osmanthus, Residual Eagle Heron and Hà Thu. Appreciation of works:
