His work focuses on the xieyi or sketching the idea method. He used ink wash and bold brushwork to capture the spirit of his subjects. Most of his paintings feature wild birds such as eagles and hawks. He avoided the use of bright colours, preferring the tonal range of black ink. This approach made his birds appear powerful and wild. His technique used the boneless style where forms are defined by ink blocks rather than thin outlines. He often painted on silk or paper to achieve specific textures.

Modern collectors value the monochrome palette and minimalist compositions found in his work. These prints fit well in rooms with neutral colour schemes. The stark contrast between the white paper and dark ink creates a visual impact. His depictions of nature feel immediate. They provide a sense of calm for a contemporary home. These pieces offer a connection to historical Chinese art while maintaining a clean aesthetic.
