He lectured in his studios across Guangzhou over the years, and many of his students became outstanding and influential scholars in Hong Kong. This scroll once belonged to Yang Shunwen, a student of one of Jian's students, and it was Yang's father who bought it from a fellow villager for the cost of a few hundred catties of grain during the war. In 1950, Yang asked twelve members of the huoguo Poetry Society to enrich the scroll with their poems and included a seven-character verse of his own at the end. In 1992, he added a postscript recording the life of Jian Chaoliang and the story of his father's acquisition of the scroll. When Yang donated this to the University Library in 2009, he attached another postscript recording the circumstances of his donation
