Zhao Shao'ang (1905-1998) is considered one of the Four Great Masters of the Lingnan School. In the late 19th century, scholars in China broke through entrenched conservative thought schools and began to create and promote new styles of art. This not only cultivated ideological progress within social elites but also gave birth to the eclectic fusion of the Han Chinese and Western styles, as advocated by the Lingnan School, which today is considered - along with the Beijing and Shanghai schools - as one of the three pillars of modern Chinese painting.
