As Dong Yongzhi said, "My painting is completely inspired, in my opinion, Chinese literati painting pays attention to the soul of painting, and works without soul are not called Chinese literati painting." Therefore, my works focus on exploring humanistic feelings, ideological realms and artistic vividness, and strive to achieve the integration of poetry, words, texts and paintings. Regarding creation, Dong Yongzhi also has his own unique views, "To be a successful painter, you must tirelessly study traditional Chinese culture, which is also the source of a successful painter's refinement of the connotation of his works."
