As a representative of the artistic creation of "Xingongbi", Han Fei, a young and middle-aged artist after the 70s, has his unique insight and cognition of "Xingongbi". He believes: "The emergence of the new brush is the new mission given to the painter by the times, the painter is not stuck in a certain established vision of the past, but out of the need to freely choose the visual formula, and then reconstruct the new sensory image." The works of the new brush painters are like a re-understanding and re-integration of visual coding, and in the process inject their self-understanding of the resources they use, which ultimately makes them an effective part of the picture."

Looking at Han Fei's artistic creation, it is not difficult for us to find that in his illustrations, the use of cold tones is particularly skillful, especially for the overall grasp of the "high gray" hue and the use of symbolic geometric figures, so that the overall picture presents a visual sense of interlacing ancient and modern spaces and strong contemporary aesthetic significance.

The maturity of Han Fei's flower and bird painting artistic conception lies in the proper grasp of the distinction between ancient and modern, he rejects the intrusion of too many modern elements, retains more of the brush and ink and charm of traditional flowers and birds, but secretly deconstructs it when subtly reproducing the perfection of the classical world, and gently criticizes it when prompting the cold survival of modern people, so that we seem to have suddenly returned to the spiritual homeland, obtained a temporary aesthetic settlement, and felt that the kiss of divinity is still in the heart, if it is left, it seems, it seems that it has really never left us...
