In the summer of Jiachen year, under the blowing of the fan, Mr. Peng Dayi, with amazing perseverance, created more than 100 philosophical Chinese paintings of more than 200 chickens of different shapes in less than 100 days. These paintings use the metaphor of a chicken as a metaphor for people, creating the first philosophical Chinese painting style in the country. Each chicken seems to be endowed with a soul, they either hold their heads high, or bow their heads in contemplation, or flutter their wings to fly, all of which have different forms but contain profound philosophies of life.

When a friend asked Mr. Peng, why bother painting these paintings that cannot be sold for money? Teacher Peng Dayi replied firmly: "Painting is my life, I want to use art to awaken people, use positive energy to build a harmonious social environment, and live a peaceful and happy life." This simple sentence contains endless power. It allows us to see the noble feelings and sense of social responsibility of an old artist.
