He is the author of "Six Dynasties Bijie", "Sorrowful Nunnery Jushi Wencun", etc., and there are also seal engravings "Erjin Butterfly Hall Seal".
Since childhood, he has been reading and writing, knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and has made a living from calligraphy and painting.

The subject matter is wide-ranging
His painting subjects were untouched by previous painters.

Zhao Zhiqian, on the other hand, is unconventional in composition, and in his floral works, the picture is rich and covered with all paper, but it is not crowded at all, dense but not complicated, complex and not chaotic.
The colors are rich

On the contrary, due to the strong color contrast, it is more and more energetic and vibrant. Seeking "clumsiness" from bright colors is an extremely valuable exploration, and this exploration has opened up a new path for the development of flower and bird painting.
Pen and ink charm
Calligraphy gold stone, let his paintings icing on the cake. Zhao Zhiqian's calligraphy and seal engraving skills are profound, and the use of books into paintings is another major feature of his works, he draws nourishment from gold stones and calligraphy, and integrates into the creation of paintings.
What is particularly valuable about the Maritime School is its spirit of reform and innovation, which is easy to understand, the dashing and lively tone, and the fresh and elegant color, which have become their common pursuit and characteristics.
Zhao Zhiqian, Wu Changshuo, Ren Yi and other "Hai Sect" people are not bound by a certain master's inheritance, but can exert their own feelings and understanding of life, and create new expression methods and new artistic styles.
These are all worth learning, in the creation of their best to give full play to their greatest advantages, show some of their own feelings about life.
