Want to know what is the next line of painting and calligraphy?

It is "Zhu Lan is like a grass official"; From the famous painter Zheng Banqiao's Poems of Cynthia in Qing Dynasty, the original text is as follows:

Studying ink in Linchi every day, never fighting for beauty.

You know, painting knows calligraphy, and Zhu Lan is like a grass official.

Poetic theme

I grind ink by the pool every day, and then write and draw. I never use bright colors to please people's senses when painting, so as to win everyone's favor.

You know, painting with a brush is the same as writing, and the brushwork of drawing orchids and bamboos is very similar to cursive script and official script.

Extended data:

Zheng Banqiao painted ink bamboo, mostly for freehand brushwork. In one go, the breath of life is very strong, one leaf at a time, whether it is dead bamboo, single bamboo or bamboo in the wind. Bamboo in the rain is full of wonderful changes, such as the height of bamboo is patchy, the shade is dry and glorious, and the dyeing is delicate. The painting style is beautiful, ultra-dusty and refined, giving people a unique feeling.

Zheng Banqiao's paintings are unique in composition and eclectic. Some towering, some plain and naive. For example, some of his orchids are born on cliffs and some are born on the banks of thorns on flat slopes, which are full of vitality and interesting. There are not only perfect artistic forms, but also rich and profound ideological contents.
