CHINA, Jiangsu, Taizhou; Qing dynasty (1644–1911)

After his service, he relocated to Yangzhou and made a living by selling paintings. He is regarded as one of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou, known for his unconventional personality and talents in poetry, calligraphy, and painting. His writings were humorous and popular, most of which reflect societal events.
