He was known for his unique style that combined traditional Chinese painting techniques with Western art forms. Yau Ching's works were characterized by their bold use of color, expressive brushwork, and dynamic compositions. Throughout his career, Yau Ching experimented with different mediums, including oil painting, ink and color on paper, and printmaking.

Yau Ching was also a prolific writer and art educator. He wrote extensively on the history and theory of Chinese art and was a passionate advocate for the preservation of traditional Chinese painting techniques. He taught at several prestigious art institutions in China, including the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts and the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. Despite his significant contributions to the art world, Yau Ching's work was often overlooked during his lifetime due to the political turmoil of the Cultural Revolution. However, in recent years, there has been renewed interest in his work, and his paintings and prints have been exhibited in major museums and galleries around the world.
