Even at its peak, the number of disciples in the South Gate was merely ten.
Despite the small number, the disciples of South Gate were able to secure a position in the domestic flower art world and even in the international floral industry after completing their training.
South Gate fell into decline during the Late Qing and Early Republic Period, and the five individuals known as "Pine, Bamboo, Orchid, Plum Blossom, and Chrysanthemum," representing the last generation of the South Gate, were personal disciples of the last Sect Leader.
