Wu Daozi, a Painter of the Tang Dynasty, was honored by the historical title of Wu Sheng, also known as Daoxuan, a native of Yang Zhai (present-day Yuzhou, Henan). Orphaned and poor, he was originally a folk painter, and served as a lieutenant in Yanzhou (present-day Ziyang, Shandong), but soon resigned to engage in mural painting. During the Kaiyuan period, he was summoned to the court with good paintings.
Wu Daozi is good at innovation, so he has made outstanding achievements, which absorb the essence from the complex object form, and summarize the concave and convex surfaces, yin and yang surfaces into irrecomprehensible "lines", combined with the internal movement of the object, constituting the organizational law of the line. He painted concise lines, "the pen is only one or two, the image has been applied", and it is called "loose body". His painting style has been imitated and borrowed by many painters since the Tang Dynasty and the Song and Yuan Dynasties.
Although the remains of Wu Daozi have been lost, they are still well known in the painting world, because he created the folk traditional painting school. He created more than 300 murals in the temples of Chang'an and Luoyang, and the murals after the Tang Dynasty were all influenced by Wu Daozi.
Wu Daozi died around 758 at the age of 79.
