Four dozen works were brought to Moscow. Gunby in translation from Chinese - "a thorough brush." Style can be recognized by a clear drawing of the smallest details and the contour of the object. Ancient art is about two thousand years old.

On the compositions, according to tradition, paradise gardens flourished, sages were inclined to think. Li Zhe is one of those who first started portraying animals in their natural environment. Now in his collection there are a lot of Pekingese and Bolonok - so he is preparing for the next year, on the eastern horoscope he is dedicated to the dog.
