"Hua Mu-lan Takes Her Father's Place in the Draft" and "Zhong Kui Gives away His Sister at Her Wedding" are spiritually moving works that are quite different from the clean style usually employed in architectural painting. And though he may have referred to previous works, his brushwork transformed them into something new. Hence, they have a high value.
他用寫意的水墨筆法畫來，不論是「花木蘭代父從軍」，還是「鍾魁嫁妹」，都是神色靈動，不同於傳統工整的建築彩繪；而且雖然參考畫稿，又能根據自己的素描功夫加以變化，因此保存價值很高。
