During the Qianlong period, thanks to the sponsorship of Huishang, the "Eight Monsters of Yangzhou" sprung up and created a large freehand painting style with stylistic significance with a simple, humorous and novel style. Literati painting is no longer confined to the system of "character is related to qi rhyme", regardless of the subject matter, pen and ink, or style, breaking through the aesthetic pattern of unity, advocating individuality, and highlighting freedom. The Flow of the Six Dynasties thus became an ideal, and the dissemination of anecdotes of the "Eight Monsters of Yangzhou" became an indispensable stroke of its artistic "reputation".
