Everyone can draw beautiful women, but Zhao He's beautiful women are different. This kind of beauty is kind, dignified, elegant and quiet. This kind of beauty has temperament, connotation and aftertaste, and is a healthy beauty. The lady paintings that Zhao He loved, pursued and described all have beautiful and charming shapes, but they are different from the plump beauty in the Tang Dynasty and the slim beauty in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but they are more vital and healthy. It can be said that since Zhao, modern lady painting is no longer superficial, but "alive" with flesh and blood, personality and charm. Interestingly, Zhao He's meticulous paintings of ladies never use models, and they are all drawn by experience and imagination. Not only the characters are fictional, but also the costumes of the characters are fictional, because if they are painted completely according to the original historical features, the costumes of some times are not beautiful and do not show themselves, so they must be chosen and idealized.

Zhao He's paintings of ladies, on the one hand, inherit the characteristics of traditional ladies' paintings, on the other hand, abandon the characteristics of traditional ladies' paintings, such as bitterness, fragility and sentimentality, making their images dignified and healthy, full of youthful vitality, full of contemporary women's breath and elegant temperament. No matter historical figures, such as Li Qingzhao and Shangguan Waner, or characters in literary works, such as Twelve Chai in Jinling, they are authentic, breaking through the limitations of historical facts and literary description. They integrated the ideas and techniques of western painting into the creation of ladies' paintings, and then injected a distinct sense of the times, literariness and lyricism into the works, greatly improving the artistic expression and appeal of the works, making them have a dual melody of simplicity and modernity. It is the two-way extension of simplicity and modernity in their paintings that makes their "lady paintings" have a different look.
