[同时，由于他擅长丹青，留意搜集历代名贤的画像，其中清代学者的尤为丰富，积三十年之功，得到169人171幅图像，给后世留下了宝贵的《清代学者象传》。 At the same time, because he was good at painting, he paid attention to collecting portraits of famous people from past dynasties, especially scholars from the Qing Dynasty. After 30 years of hard work, he collected 171 images of 169 people, leaving behind the precious "Portraits of Scholars in the Qing Dynasty" for future generations.]

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Hi Chris! This is another well-written and well-sourced article about a Chinese historical figure. Earwig shows that it is copyvio free, and the sources for the hook check out. Personally, I find ALT1 to be more interesting, (not because I am a native Cantonese speaker,) but as many painters have their works published posthumously, it is not really that special or interesting. So I would prefer ALT1. —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 13:44, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
