Later he went further back to Wu ihen and Ni Zan of the Yuan dynasty, and developed a multi-faceted style, characterized by a visual richness and a sense of remote tranquility. He was one of the most important Guangdong painters in the Qing dynasty.

(清)字簡民，又字未裁，號二樵，亦自稱樵夫，又號石鼎道士，廣東順德人。乾隆五十四年(1789)拔貢。嘗寓廣州僧寺，種竹名之曰竹平安館。中年所居村曰百花村，築亭曰眾香閣、曰藥煙堂、曰五百四峰。為人清狂徵歌狹邪，日與酒徒醉飲。自刻圖章曰[小子狂簡]，刀法峻儻。又能治銅印。工詩,奚岡、黃景仁咸與唱和。書法欲追晉人，中年兼學李邕，晚年多寫蘇、黃體。隸師熹平石經。畫法宋、元卓然名家。山水簡淡,皴擦鬆秀，其小幀筆勢堅蒼，點綴苔樹，多蘸以大綠，無一筆不遒勁，亦無一筆不精鈿。偶仿陳淳花卉，神與古會。間作墨梅。嘗為李南澗寫照數幀畢肖。微時家貧，嘗為市肆畫紗燈人物亦絕工。而畫人無不著色。偶為廣州富商園林疊石作假山，見者知其能畫。卒年五十三(一作五十二)。其生前已有贗其書畫者。著有五百四峰堂詩鈔。
