List of painters with a biography on the caption page
Each list of painters is preceded by the issue number. The painters are named by their official name, rather than by their style or courtesy name, as often occurs in the captions themselves. In most cases, the biography is in an issue with paintings by the artist. Many painters do not have a biography. There are no paintings of Gu Hezhong in the issues, but there is a biography of him, perhaps because he was a contemporary of Zhou Wenju. There are no biographies in the issues 2, 7, 13, 14, 23, 24, 26. In issue 2 there are comments on the landscape paintings. The caption page of issue 5 mentions: "this collection is the best of the works selected at the Shanghai Yuyuan Calligraphy and Painting Competition in February this year".
