As an eighteenth-century Chinese painter active in Hangzhou and Yangzhou, Hua Yan has been sifted in and out of the list of the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou" since the late nineteenth century. In this talk, Hua Yan's frontier-themed paintings will be discussed in the context of the territorial and commercial expansion of the new Qing empire. His portrayal of the world beyond the Great Wall addresses such topics as trade routes, travel, the flourishing of frontier literature, and the documentation of the "other" in late imperial China.
