In recent years, the old state has increased day by day, and it is no longer able to do things for teenagers to gallop, and every idle time to do this art has been hastily inked. Mr. Xi Ishida tasted the clouds: The viewer should ask me to be outside of Danqing. Cheng'er, Yu Zhishu. If I am disciplined by the law, I will sin against the community. Yu Pedantic pretended to be a sumu shiweng, so he dared to call his words self-explanatory, and did not dare to ask the society to look down on Ishida Ya. Shan Guolin, a researcher at the Shanghai Museum and an art historian, once commented: "From this, we can see that he originally wrote flowers because of the color school. His most direct teacher was naturally Wen Zhengming, who painted flowers and birds mainly orchids and bamboo, and occasionally made spiny branches and birds and finches, with a gentle and graceful pen. The earliest works of Chen Chun that have been handed down to the world are "Narcissus Figure Fan Page" (Shanghai Museum collection, containing "Catalogue of Ancient Chinese Calligraphy and Painting" III) and "Fan Page of Lake Stone Flower Map" (Collection of national palace museum in Taipei, containing Chen Baozhen's "Chen Chun Study"), which are double hook daffodil leaves, cinnabar dot dyeing small flowers, and the pen tone is elegant and subtle, very close to the style of Wen Zhengming. On the back page, there are inscriptions by Zhu Yunming, Tang Yin, Xing Yuan, Wen Zhengming and others, and the friendship between the young Chen Chun and the predecessors of Wumen art and the weight they received can be seen. ”
