Zhang was born in Xiangfu (?? - present day Kaifeng in the Henan province). His style name was 'Tian Chi' (??) and his pseudonym was 'Ping Shan' (??). He was a student of Wu Wei. Zhang followed the Zhe school of painting. He painted landscapes and human figures in a free and uninhibited style.

A hanging scroll (Chinese: ??; pinyin: l靭h髐; also called ? or ??) is one of the many traditional ways to display and exhibit Chinese painting and calligraphy. Displaying the art in such a way was befitting for public appreciation and appraisal of the aesthetics of the scroll in its entirety by the audience. The traditional craft involved in creating such a work is considered an art in itself. Mountings can be divided into a few sections; such as handscrolls; hanging scrolls; album leaves; and screens amongst others.
