Cheng Jiasui (Chinese: 程嘉燧; pinyin: Chéng Jiāsuì; Wade–Giles: Ch'eng Chia-sui) (1565-1643) was a Chinese landscape painter and poet during the Ming dynasty (1368–1644).
Cheng was born in Xiuning in the Anhui province[1] and lived in Jiading.[2] His style name was 'Mengyang' (孟阳) and his pseudonyms or art names were 'Songyuan' (松圆) and 'Ji'an' (偈庵).[2] Cheng's landscape painting followed the style of Huang Gongwang and Ni Zan in its wild and natural taste. Cheng also wrote a number of poems. Along with Tang Shisheng (唐时升), Lou Jian (娄坚), and Li Liufang (李流芳), he was known as one of the "Four Teachers of Jiading" (嘉定四先生).[2]
