He belonged to several art movements throughout his career including Shanghai School realism influenced by renowned artists like Qi Baishi but he ultimately developed a unique personal style characterized by expressive brushwork juxtaposed against meticulous attention-to-detail rendering called "splashed-ink" or "Pomo". This innovative approach allowed him more freedom for self-expression while preserving some aspects of classical aesthetics found in ancient masterpieces. In terms tone/vibe employed within “Lotus IV”, one may find a contemplative, serene ambiance with an emphasis on capturing the essence of nature's beauty and harmony.
