Wang Shishen (1686-1762) was a painter, calligrapher and seal engraver in the Qing Dynasty. He had close friendships with Jin Nong, Hua Yan and other masters, and together they created the legendary chapter of "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou". He used his pen as a boat and his ink as an ocean, creating a unique path in the vastness of art. He was particularly good at expressing his feelings through flowers. The elegance of orchids and the tenacity of bamboos were all vividly portrayed on paper. His skill in painting plum blossoms was even more extraordinary, with proud bones visible in the cold fragrance.
Although Wang Shishen lived a life of poverty, he never extinguished the eternal light of art in his heart. Unfortunately, in his later years, he lost his eyesight in the hustle and bustle of the world, but his spiritual eyes became brighter and brighter. He was still able to write with a brush and ink, and his wild cursive calligraphy was flying, and every word was a pearl, showing his unrestrained talent. Mr. Jin Nong praised him, "Brother Shishen, you are blind to the eyes of the world, but your heart is as bright as day, and you are not blind to the way of art."

His works are full of timeless elegance, and every stroke contains profound interest and endless charm. The world in the painting, whether it is a flourishing flower or a solitary plum blossom standing proudly in the snow, is a reflection of his soul and an expression of his emotions.

This set of flower albums painted in playful style has sparse brushstrokes and casual strokes. The style is light and elegant, transcendental, rich in spirit and clear in air, and the light ink is interesting.

(V) A branch of cold jade guards the East Pavilion, patrolling the eaves and asking for poems. He Lang has grown old and his charm has diminished, and he is ashamed to see the sparse flowers shining on his beard.
