Since ancient times, Ying Yeping still adheres to the principle of "pen and ink keep pace with the times". The times need the creative idea of fine products, hone the painting language repeatedly, diligently explore the forms of expression, integrate the ancient and the modern, and strengthen the personality, which has made indelible contributions to enriching and perfecting the pen and ink techniques of modern ink painting.

Increase the thickness and layering of objects, replace points and lines with blocks, leave blank and blur in some areas, show the gradation of light and shade, use colors or shades, or quietly elegant, color and ink permeate each other, and the charm is subtle, which not only has the beauty of the landscape of the South School, but also has the massiness and naturalness of the landscape of the North School.

In composition and form, it broke away from the shackles of the old form and added new interest, which was beyond the reach of the ancient statutes. It can be said that the intersection of the traditional stream and the source of nature has made Mr. Ye Ping's landscape paintings glow with new brilliance. "
