Chiang was born to the family of rich literati background. His grandfather practised ladies, flowers and birds paintings, while his father excelled at boneless flower paintings. Chiang started learning from Pu Hsinyu, thus focused primarily on landscape paintings. From 1970s, Chiang explored lotus and more varieties of flowers after moving to Jieshe Garden in Puli. Chiang's relationship with Zhang Daqian and Tai Jingnong ignited his passion towards depicting lotus in splashed ink and plum in sturdy brushstrokes. His role in the National Palace Museum allowed him to study ancient scrolls. This work was painted with Au Ho-Nien. Chiang painted the leaves of begonia and Au added a bee and a butterfly. Begonia on the right were painted with centered brush and saturated ink, resembling Xu Wei's paintings. Splashed ink with variations adds vibrancy to the leaves. The bee and butterfly were meticulously painted by Au. Two insects fly towards the flowers in the search of sweet honey, adding a touch of Spring to the painting, thus showing the artists' literati dialogue in this work.
