Bapo

Bapo means 'eight brokens' in Chinese. "In Chinese culture, eight is a lucky number, tying in the wishes for good fortune in the paintings. The paintings are created by painting depictions of fragments of different items, often images or calligraphy, on a single canvas or other surface. This style also offers an artistic way to express the Chinese tradition of collecting antiquities, since the works combine fragments from different time periods."-http://www.bostonmagazine.com/arts-entertainment/blog/2017/06/15/mfa-bapo-art/
BAPO means developed and fortune. The earliest BAPO appear at Qing dynasty.
