Qiu Shoucheng (1929~2002) is a famous painter of flowers and birds at sea, he is good at depicting flowers, birds, fish and insects, especially famous for painting chickens and fish. His works are full of tranquil and elegant mood, full of pastoral atmosphere, which is refreshing and endlessly aftertasted.

Qiu Shoucheng developed a strong interest in painting from an early age, and at the age of 18, he studied with Jiang Hanting, a famous master of the Shanghai School, and became his disciple. Since then, he has not only studied Jiang Hanting's flower and bird paintings in depth, but also extensively absorbed the advantages of other painters, such as Hua Rong, Ren Yi, Xugu, Bada, etc. He combined the advantages of each family, innovated it, and formed his own style.

Qiu Shoucheng likes to draw goldfish, and his goldfish has a unique shape, with square eyes and body, which is consistent with Xugu's painting of goldfish. In the painting, he arranged a shallow pool of clear water for the goldfish, with swaying aquatic plants in the clear water, a few freehand strokes, but containing endless vitality. The goldfish swim leisurely in it, as if the paper is full of goldfish's ripples.

However, in Qiu Shoucheng's works, the most pastoral interest and human touch can be reflected in his hens and chicks. The green bamboo poles and bamboo leaves in the picture are delicate and straight, elegant and refreshing. The body of the hen is painted in light ink, and the wings and tail feathers are dotted with heavy ink, which looks vivid and spiritual. The four chicks are depicted in ink, with simple and clean brushstrokes, which are very charming. The whole painting is full of ink and color, and the emotions are vivid, showing his extraordinary skills of boldly dropping ink and carefully tidying up.

Appreciating Qiu Shoucheng's works, one can always feel a gentleman's style. His personality is just like his paintings, loyal and simple, not seeking fame, and always tirelessly pursuing the refinement of brush and ink. No matter what subject he paints, his paintings are not colored much, but they are elegant and interesting, with the beauty of patterns and the charm of Chinese painting. Such an artistic style and personality charm undoubtedly add more charm and depth to his works.
