Based on his life, he always pays attention to accumulation, observes everywhere, imitates natural images and conceives and processes them, and absorbs the methods of "thinking before writing", "not liking" and "taking outside" that traditional freehand brushwork has always paid attention to, rather than sticking to the rules. He regards this aesthetic psychology of "getting what he deserves" as a basic foothold of his kite creation, and either gets carried away or draws spirit from appearances to form his own style.
