Character profile: I loved painting since I was a child, but I dropped out of school because of my poor family. In the 42nd year of Kangxi (1703), the Huashi family rebuilt the ancestral temple. The squire looked down on him for painting murals for the main hall and rose up against it. Finally, he sneaked into the ancestral temple and drew four paintings, namely, Cloud Crane on the Mountain, Floating Cattle in the Water Village, Song Qingya and Poems on Horses. At the age of 36, he went north to the capital, "called the giant of Tao", but he was not satisfied. According to Dai's "Painting a Cave", "Hua painted himself and visited the capital without asking. Those who sell fake paintings a day will be wrapped in China's pen, and they will be too tired to leave the capital. " During his middle and old age, he often traveled between Hangzhou and Yangzhou to sell paintings for a living. In Yangzhou, he got to know Jin Nong, Gao Xiang, Li, and brothers, Ma Yuelu and other salt merchants, and exchanged ideas with each other, which expanded his painting accomplishment in many aspects and became one of the representatives of Yangzhou painting school.

The character Hua Yan was poor all his life. Jin Nong mentioned in "Painting Bamboo": "In Tingzhou, Hua Qiuyan said: ... Try to draw a bluegrass roll paper, which is fifty feet long. After dinner, it can be done, clear but not flattering, and suddenly the fragrance is scattered in the empty valley ... I hate that I can't follow in his footsteps." After seventeen years of Qianlong (1752), he returned to his former residence in Hangzhou. Qianlong died in twenty-one years, and there are five volumes of Li Dirt Collection.

Hua Yan's flower-and-bird paintings are the most famous. He absorbed the strengths of Chen Chun, Zhou Zhimian and Yun in Ming Dynasty, and formed a small freehand brushwork technique. He is good at capturing the interest of nature and the real and delicate experience of people, combining the movements of flowers and birds with the rich and healthy interest in feelings, and shaping a vivid and colorful image. In painting, there are exquisite details, simple and vivid brushwork, and delicate fluffy fluff of bird feathers. This fresh and handsome flower-and-bird painting style has had a positive impact on later generations. Hua Yan's achievements in characters are also outstanding. His figure paintings are proud of Chen Hongshou, Wang Shugu and Ma, and have developed a style of reducing strokes. The image is exaggerated without distortion, and the lines are Marek He Zhi's Orchid Leaf Map, which is concise and soft, but pays more attention to spirit without losing shape. Not only has a distinct personality, but also is full of artistic conception. Hua Yan's landscape and court style are different from those of Wu Pai and Dong Qichang, and they are generally simple.

According to the online catalogue of Academia Sinica, Chinese characters are simplified.

Among them, there are its manuscripts, collected from dirt (a Qing dynasty that collected hundreds of manuscripts; Note: according to the manuscript collected by the National Central Library, it is published by Wenhai Publishing House in Taipei County.
