(b Henan Province, 1294; d Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, 1365). Chinese painter and calligrapher. He was active in Jiangsu Province and was favoured by the emperors Renzong (reg 1312–21) and Yingzong (reg 1321–3). In calligraphy he followed the Yuan-period (1279–1368) artists Xianyu Shu (1257–1302) and Zhao Mengfu (whose protégé he was at court), and in painting Guo Xi of the Northern Song period (960–1127). He formed a close friendship with the leading Koryo-period (918–1392) scholar and poet Yi Che-hyon, who spent many years in Beijing and who was instrumental in the transmission of Neo-Confucianism to Korea.
