Qian Huian, courtesy name Jisheng, was the first president of the "Yuyuan Calligraphy and Painting Benevolent Association" and one of the representative figures of the Shanghai School.
He started his career as a folk painter, and his figures were mostly auspicious and celebratory subjects, with plump and fortunate appearances. He uniquely incorporated self-portraits into his paintings, infusing folk art with the style of literati painting. Cheng Shifa praised him as the "Master of Shanghai School."
