During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period in China, the painter Huang Quan created the "Sketches of Rare Birds" for his son's practice and study. He inscribed the lower left corner of the painting with "Fuzi Ju Bao Xi," meaning it was intended for his son, Huang Jubao, to learn and practice. Similarly, when I compiled this collection of sketches of pine, grass, and flowers, it was initially for the purpose of teaching my children painting. Most of the works in this book are copied from paintings by Song dynasty artists, even those by anonymous painters are often well-regarded works passed down through generations. Due to the age of many original paintings, some forms are difficult to discern, so I have supplemented them with additional content, all done with utmost seriousness and care. This collection comprises nearly a hundred varieties of plants, flowers, and dozens of birds and insects. In terms of composition, it includes sketches suitable for different formats such as album leaves, fan paintings, and square compositions. These paintings are highly suitable for enthusiasts of meticulous painting to study and emulate.
