I. Who are Huang Gongwang's followers?
Since Huang Gongwang, on the basis of Dong Ju, dispersed the Song Dynasty, focused on his own writing, and used calligraphy to use pens to create the "Shallow Landscape", he has been followed and admired by posterity. None of the painters of the Ming and Qing dynasties who achieved great achievements in the field of landscape painting were influenced by it, and the most obsessive of them was the "Four Kings of the Qing Dynasty", who almost all made a living in the hills and ravines of Huanggongwang. Not only was the Qing Dynasty almost a copy of Huang Gongwang, including the "Four Monks of the Qing Dynasty", but even the Ming Dynasty had a large number of followers. The more famous people in the Ming Dynasty were Dong Qichang, Shen Zhou and Wen Zhengming of the "Four Houses of Wumen", and Lan Ying of the "Wulin Painting School".
It can be seen that Huang Gongwang is revered as a generation of masters of landscape painting, which is no exaggeration.

Shen Zhou's landscape paintings benefited from Huang Gongwang a lot, and many of his works were painted imitating Huang Gongwang's brushwork. One of the more famous is "Imitation of the Great Fool Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", this work can make posterity very clear to see how Shen Zhou innovated on the basis of his predecessors and combined with his own unique perception.
Shen Zhou imitated Huang Gongwang's landscape paintings, mainly absorbing Huang Gongwang's brushwork, layout and interesting characteristics, rather than completely copying them.

There is also a Shen Zhou", which is even more so. This work is modeled after Huang Gongwang's landscape. "Imitation" is the meaning of imitation, nor is it a copy of Huang Gongwang's landscape, but also a re-creation of imitation. Shen Zhou mainly painted mountain stones with Phi Ma Chuan and Lotus Leaf Wrinkles and Xie Suo Zhen, and his pen was thick and powerful, and the ink color was pale, which was deeply rooted in the legacy of Huang Gongwang.
2. Wang Yuanqi is obsessed with Huang Gongwang, but only has his fur.

Wang Yuanqi's landscape paintings of Huang Gongwang can be described as obsessive, and he is a die-hard fan of Huang Gongwang. However, the difference between his qualifications and Huang Gongwang is too big, and it is not the same, and at best, it is only some of Huang Gongwang's fur. He claimed to have a "vajra pestle" at the end of his pen, and looking at his landscape paintings, he was suspected of exaggerating and boasting.
