Gao Xiang (1688- 1753), a famous painter in the Qing Dynasty, was one of the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou, whose name was Fenggang, Xitang and Tantang. He is from Yangzhou, Jiangsu. He has never been an official in his life.

In his later years, due to disability of his right hand, Gao Xiang often painted with his left hand. Make friends with Shi Tao, Jin Nong and Wang. In the Qing Dynasty, Li Dou recorded in The Original Boat of Yangzhou: "When Shi Tao died, the Western Tang Dynasty swept his grave every spring until his death." It means that after Shi Tao's death, Gao Xiang visited the grave every spring until his death. We can also see the depth of their friendship from here. In addition to painting landscapes and flowers, Gao Xiang is also good at portraits and prints. His landscape paintings are based on Hong Ren and Shi Tao, and most of his small landscape paintings come from sketches. The characters in Jin Nong's and Wang's poems are all written by Gao Xiang, with concise lines and realistic expressions. He is the author of Western Tang Poetry, which is one of the "Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou".
