Born the son of a banker in [[Tianjin]], he studied oil painting and music in Japan, and upon his return to China, became the first art teacher in China to use nude models in his classes. A devout Buddhist throughout his life, he gave up painting, turned to calligraphy, and took the tonsure in 1918.
