He was a prolific writer of art theory and collections, leaving behind several significant works such as Ma Tai Hua Wen, Zi Xi Hua Pu Da Quan (now known as Ma Tai Hua Bao), Qi Zhou Hua Sheng, Si Yan Hua Jue, and Qi Zhou Hua Ji. His mastery of diverse styles earned him the reputation of a "doctor of painting." He passed away in 1937.
