He was a painter with a considerable personality, and when Emperor Ningzong of the Southern Song Dynasty served as a court of painting, he was given a golden belt representing the highest honor of the academy. But he hung the golden belt in the courtyard and drifted away, not wanting to be subject to others at all. He likes to drink alcohol, and his behavior after drinking is informal, and he is known as "Liang Feng (crazy) son".

Liang Kai's works include "Six Ancestral Bamboo Drawings", "Li Baixing YinTu", "Splash Ink Immortal Diagram", "Eight High Monk Story Picture Scrolls", etc., but the "Splash Ink Immortal Diagram" is the most famous.

In terms of figure painting, Liang Kai himself was influenced by the Zen trend of thought and advocated simplicity, and he broke through the shackles of the meticulous and rigorous body painting of the Song Dynasty courtyard and used as little brush and ink as possible to portray the character image.
