Let us illustrate this with "Mulberry Grove with Concubine Yang Taking a Spring Nap," winner of a Folk Arts Awards in 1992. Thanks to a friend who works for the Taiwan Forestry Bureau and has been stationed at the Alishan Memorial Peony Garden for the past 16 years, Kuan has become fond of peonies and studies and grows them. On an average day he will paint or carve them as well.
以一九九二年獲第一屆民族工藝獎佳作的《楊妃春睡桑籬園》為例，因偏愛牡丹，因此從十六年前朋友標下林務局阿里山祝山牡丹園至今，他長期參與種植牡丹，平日更以畫牡丹、刻牡丹為樂。
