YU JIAN WU XIA|No Rules, True to Tradition

YU JIAN WU XIA By: null

Shitao, a monk-painter hailed as "the greatest artist in 300 years since Qing Dynasty", revolutionized Chinese painting. Modern masters like Wu Guanzhong called him "the pioneer of modern art". In 1691, at age 50, he created his masterpiece "Seeking All Peaks for Sketches" while traveling in Beijing - a work that represents the pinnacle of his career.

Explore Peaks

Learn from Nature

The painting blends boldness with grandeur, appearing spontaneous yet masterfully capturing mountains, clouds and forests. Its inscription declares: "No fixed rules, yet all methods valued." Shitao's approach: break conventions but learn from tradition; study nature, then fuse personal insight with classic techniques - creating art rooted in the past but reborn through nature.


No Fixed Form

Spirit Writes the Rule



Zhang Xing's blue-and-white porcelain art vividly recreates Shitao's classic landscape. The vessel showcases rolling peaks, layered cliffs, ancient trees and winding bridges. Scholars converse in mountain retreats while poets wander paths, bringing the scenic view to life. Meandering streams lead to misty rivers, extending the imagination beyond the artwork. With fluid brushwork, the piece radiates artistic freedom - just as Zhang Xing exclaimed: "Pure painting joy!"  



The artist ingeniously uses water elements to transform the flat composition into a circular panorama. Every detail meticulously mirrors the original - mountain ridges, house arrangements, even the growth patterns of trees and interior furnishings. The painting displays masterful brushwork: thick and thin, round and angular, soft and hard strokes in dynamic variation. While achieving "boundless artistic freedom", not a single stroke duplicates the original - truly embodying "formless rules, spirit-led creation".


New Ink

New Chapter


"Painting on porcelain" is an unprecedented innovation. Our works are far beyond mere copies - they recreate classical paintings in a completely different medium, infused with the artist's personal interpretation and emotional expression. This is a transformative recreation, representing a spiritual dialogue across time between the artist and ancient masters. 

We embrace both creative courage ("establish no dogma") and cultural continuity ("discard no tradition"). Our works not only approach the perfection of paper paintings, but more importantly convey their poetic essence and humanistic spirit. Each piece bears unique artistic character - irreplicable and un-mass-producible. Through this innovative art form, we revive cultural memory and rebuild China's porcelain art discourse in the contemporary world.
