*''Chinese/Japanese'': [[鄭]]思肖 ''(Zhèng Sīxiào / Tei Shishou)''
Zheng Sixiao was a painter of the late [[Southern Song Dynasty|Southern Song]] and [[Yuan Dynasty|Yuan Dynasties]], famous for his paintings of uprooted orchids. It has been suggested that the uprooted orchids, along with the poetic inscriptions Zheng placed on these paintings, are a subtle political message, alluding to the uprooting of cultivated, civilized Chinese culture in the wake of China being taken over by barbarians ([[Mongols]]). One particularly famous and oft-cited example of these orchid paintings is held at the Osaka Municipal Museum of Art.
