Zhang's Chinese calligraphy styles were derived from the "Wei Bei" styles. Pu Hsin-Yu had inscribed poems and calligraphy on Zhang's paintings many times as shown in this video.

Chang Dai-ch'ien was born in Nei-chiang, Szechwan province, in 1899, and died in 1983 at the age of 85. As a painter he had his own unique style and was one of the greatest painters in the history of modern art. Moreover there are many legendary anecdotes from his life such as having studied textile dyeing in Japan and having joined a Buddhist monastery as a monk, and having journeyed to Tun-huang during wartime to make copies of the cave paintings. Wherever he lived, Chang Dai-ch'ien's residences were expressions of his good taste. All of them, "Plum Blossom Village" in Szechwan, the "Garden of Eight Virtues" in Brazil, "Ko Yi Chu (The Habitable)" "Huan-pi Retreat" in the United States and the Abode of Maya in Wai-shuang-hsi, Taipei, had beautiful gardens.

張大千 Zhāng Dàqiān
張大千（1899～1983年），四川內江人，1899年(清光緒二十五年己亥)5月10日（農歷四月初一），他出生在四川省內江縣城郊安良里象鼻嘴堰塘灣的一個書香門第­的家庭。原名張正權，又名爰，字季爰，號大千，別號大千居士，四川省內江市人。
傳說其母在其降生之前，夜里夢一老翁送一小猿入宅，所以在他二十一歲的時候，改名蝯，又名爰、季爰。后出家為僧，法號大千，所以世人也稱其為"大千居士"。
張大千是二十世紀中國畫壇最具傳奇色彩的國畫大師，無論是繪畫、書法、篆刻、詩詞都無所不通。早期專心研習古人書畫，特別在山水畫方面卓有成就。后旅居海外，畫風工寫結合­，重彩、水墨融為一體，尤其是潑墨與潑彩，開創了新的藝術風格。他的治學方法，值得那些試圖從傳統走向現代的畫家們借鑒。

Zhang Daqian was probably the best selling Chinese painter in the 20th century. To prevent forgeries, he changed his painting styles and seals every five years.

From the his signatures, I have looked up some years when he painted the court ladies:

At 0:45, its 丙戌 1946

At 0:56, its 庚辰 1940

At 3:42, its 甲申 1944
