His style names were Yang-sun and Yu-chün; his sobriquets were Hsi-ku and Nan-sha. He also called himself Ch’ing-t’ung chü-shih. He received his degree in 1730 and served as academician at the court. A skilled calligrapher and painter, Chiang painted flowers from life with an untrammeled brush that instilled spirit and life in his subjects. Tree branches and rocks painted in monochrome ink were also in his repertory, as well as small, elegant renderings of orchids and bamboos. Though a small insect, a mantis could be combative and formidable. In this painting, a mantis captures a cicada on a willow tree. Chiang T’ing-hsi succeeded in depicting the power of a mantis which is about to devour a cicada. The painting has a title by the artist, “Mantis Captures a Cicada, after a Yüan Artist.” It is the sixth leaf from the album, Paintings of Flowers and Birds from Life.
