If the exquisite flower-and-bird paintings in the Southern Song Dynasty can show the artist's delicate conjecture and respectful expression of specific objects, then in Qian Xuan's flower-and-bird paintings, the emotion given by the artist is brought out without trace through his poems, and the word "wash" vividly reproduces the fresh and cold rhyme of the viewer to a pear tree, and the sad memory has permeated among the branches and flowers, while the author's emotion seems to be neutral. The connection between painting and poetry is not a simple and direct description or explanation, but another higher-level interest accommodation. Qian Xuan's ranking in "Xing Wu Eight Horses" is not entirely based on his paintings, but on his poems, which is the acme of his writing. His profound literary accomplishment will inevitably affect his understanding and expression of painting.

In the Qing Dynasty, Lu Xinyuan's "An Ancient Tang Ji" and "Biography of a Thousand Selections" said: "You are fond of folding branches, and those who are proud of it regard it as poetry." Qian Xuan's paintings, whether there are untitled poems or not, have rich seals. There may be another reason for the appearance and change of brushwork. When the painting broke through the exclusive appreciation of the royal family and spread widely among the people, the authenticity of the work was highlighted. Qian Xuan's local paintings enjoy a high reputation in Xing Wu. At that time, people called Qian Xuan's paintings, Zhao Meng's ci and Feng Yingke's pen "Xing Wu's Three Musts" respectively. Qian Xuan's works are not only highly accomplished in painting, but also highly educated. His work Gardenia of Birds is now in the friel Art Museum. There are two gardenias in the picture, but there are no birds. One said that it might be a remnant of the original picture, and the other said that "gardenia of birds" was originally a flower name. Two flower branches in the picture are in a happy state, swaying. The flowers and leaves are interspersed with shades, and the colors are elegant and harmonious. After his painting, there is a postscript from Zhao Meng: "Come and see the birds and gardenias, and business is enough. The beauty of Dan Qing is better than that of Si. Others will do what they do. " Meng shows that Qian Xuan's paintings were copied by many later scholars at that time. Zhao Meng wrote an inscription after Qian Xuan's Eight Flowers: "The original eight flowers painted by Qian Shunju in Xing Wu are very attractive in color and posture, although they are similar in style. I came here on a public day, drunk as a fiddler, and my fingers trembled. It's hard to do this again. However, if the younger generation in the village imitates it and the owner holds it, then this volume is valuable. "There is also an author's preface on the volume of" White Lotus Map "unearthed in Shandong:" Those who change their names to Weng cover a lot of fake books. Because of their novelty, those who make fakes know their shame. "Choosing money is a good move." Obviously, the distinction between brushwork and painter's identity was further developed in the early Yuan Dynasty, and painters' paintings became a common practice in the middle and late Yuan Dynasty, which also promoted the requirements for the quality of painters' calligraphy.
