1 1676 Wu Li schreibt über die Malerei China-Westen :
"One of the names of Macao is Haojing. Reaching Macao and not having traveled far, there is the wind of Great West [Portugal] and Little West [Goa]. The ritual, culture, custom and trend, when being compared with my home [culture], are like walking backwards or being back to back. For example, when meeting with a visitor, we must tidy our clothes and hat to the best form while people of this land remove their hats. If we talk about writing and painting, it is the same. Our characters are formed by the gathering of dots and strokes, then the sounds come afterwards. Theirs begin with phonetics, then words, which are hooks like and are arranged in horizontal rows. Our paintings do not seek formal likeness or depend on fixed patterns, which are called divinely untrammeled. Their paintings demonstrate great effort in portraying light and shade, front and back, physical likeness and fixed patterns. Shifting to signatures, we inscribe ours at the top while they sign theirs at the bottom. Their use of the brush is also different. Such differences are too many to be listed in full."
