romanization of chinese names can bite it

chen hongshou is this artist i'm writing about for my Ming dynasty painting class
whoo
basically he's like: um, so, we love tradition, but there is a serious artistic stagnation going on upins.
so: i'll still paint like all y'all, but i'm going to paint like ALL y'all and won't be lumped in with anyone
then he's like check it: i'm depressed about the Qing rule and my painting is way crazy and unlike all of what has been going on except it's still looking like old stuff which is just exactly what everyone has been doing anyway my goodness do we love to copy old Tang and Sung paintings i'm going to get drunk on wine

he really liked to drink wine

no lie
