Eight eccentrics from Yangzhou

Eight eccentrics from Yangzhou ( Chinese  揚州八怪  /  扬州八怪 , Pinyin Yangzhou baguai ) is the name of a group of eight Chinese painters from the time of the Qing dynasty , who left orthodox ideas behind in favor of a freer, individualistic style and thereby partially developed bizarre painting techniques. The group is also mentioned under the name "Yangzhou School of Painting"

These were:

• Wāng Shìshèn (汪士 慎) (1686–1759)
• Huáng Shèn (黄 慎) (1687–1768)
• Lĭ Shàn (李 鱓 / 李 鳝) (around 1686, around 1756)
• Jīn Nóng (金 农) (1687–1764)
• Luō Pìng (罗 聘) (1733–1799)
• Gāo Xiáng (高翔) (1688–1753)
• Zhèng Xiè (郑 燮) also under the name Zhèng Bănqiáo (郑板桥) (1693–1765)
