This picture depicts the blooming poppy flowers with the “boneless” method created by Yun Shouping from ancient times to new times. The petals and leaves do not need ink to outline the outline, but are all made of color, which is quite beautiful and charming, reaching the artistic realm of good color, light, state and rhyme he pursues. Yun’s boneless writing method, which pays attention to shape similarity, but is not satisfied with shape similarity, not only won the favor of the Qing royal family, but also became the authentic style of the Qing courthouse flowers and birds, and also won the favor of the civil class.
