In the mid-Ming Dynasty, more and more literati participated in the creation of flower-and-bird paintings, and their creative style was very different from that of college paintings from the beginning, with Wu Pai as the most representative. Wu Pai's achievements are mainly in landscape painting. The representative figures are the "Four Masters of Wumen" who are good at figures, landscapes and flowers and birds, namely Shen Zhou, Wen Zhiming, Tang Yin and Chou Ying. Shen Zhou and Wen Zhiming mainly continued the tradition of literati painting in Song and Yuan Dynasties, which was simple but not relaxed. Tang Yin and Chou Ying mainly absorbed the style of courtyard painting in the Southern Song Dynasty, blended into the spiritual material of the times, and reflected the interest of the citizens at that time. On the basis of absorbing the achievements of predecessors, their flower-and-bird paintings have developed distinctive personality characteristics, which are quite influential in the history of art.
Strictly speaking, Wu Pai's flower-and-bird painting is a continuation of the previous generation, which has no significance of starting a school. However, the flower-and-bird paintings of a generation of disciples introduced to Wumen have yielded fruitful results in Chen Chun, Zhou Zhimian and others. Chen Chun studied painting in Yuan Dynasty in his early years, and then studied in Wen Zhiming, where he was good at flowers, birds and landscapes. He integrated calligraphy and landscape painting into flower-and-bird painting, skillfully expressed the forms of flowers and leaves, and the back of yin and yang by using the dry and wet shades and infiltration of ink and wash, and created a new style of freehand flower-and-bird painting. If Chen Chun's freehand brushwork of flowers and birds fully shows the characteristics of pen and ink and the sense of form of the picture, then Xu Wei's works give full play to the function of freehand brushwork of flowers and birds to express their feelings, pouring stones in their chests and expressing their passion. In terms of painting language style, he absorbed the advantages of literati paintings of Song and Yuan Dynasties, Lin Liang, Shen Zhou and Chen Chun, and also integrated the advantages of folk painters, and at the same time integrated his own wild brushwork into painting. Mei Lan's bamboo stones are endowed with a strong personality in his works, and he looks down on everything with a crazy and weird attitude. He was the first flower-and-bird painter to paint with the sacred porch. He used the good water absorption of Shengxuan to control the effect of ink infiltration and show his special charm. He also splashed ink as flowers and birds and expressed his anger with pen and ink. Xu Wei created a new style of freehand brushwork of flowers and birds, which influenced Badashan people, Shi Tao, Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics, Shanghai School and even Qi Baishi. His achievements surpassed those of Chen Chun, who was earlier than him, and later people called him "Ivy, Poplar".
