Despite that Chang's whole-hearted devotion to protecting the Mogao Caves largely cut down the time and effort paid to his own painting practice, his later works were influenced by murals of Dunhuang and a more down-to-earth, local artistic expressions of China popular at that time, Zhang added.

In the late 1990s, Chang's second wife Li Chengxian and their children donated more than 200 pieces of oil paintings, watercolors and sketches of Chang's to the Zhejiang Provincial Museum, a small selection of which are displayed at the museum's permanent Chang Shuhong Gallery.
