What's the story of painting bamboo?

Qing Dynasty painters Li Li and Zheng Banqiao are famous for their painting skills. Once, they traveled in Zhenjiang together. Monks in Jinshan Temple only know that Li Li is coming. He didn't know that the famous Zheng Banqiao also came to Zhenjiang. He only wrote a golden invitation to Lili.

After receiving the invitation, Li Li looked at Zheng Banqiao sitting beside her and said with a smile, "You just said you were famous. You see, as soon as I arrived in Zhenjiang, I was invited. How about tomorrow, do you think I'm going to eat vegetarian food alone? "

Zheng Banqiao looked at Lili's eyes and smiled into a crack. He looked smug and blurted out, "I'll go tomorrow."

Li Li said, "Hey! I was invited, but not you. How can you go? "

Zheng Banqiao smiled and said, "I am younger than you. I'll install an extremely good boy tomorrow, shall we go together? "

"Well, good! This method is good! " Hearing this, Lili nodded happily. "Zheng Banqiao will be my extremely bookish, which will raise my price!"

The next day, with Li Li in front, Zheng Banqiao dressed as an extremely knowledgeable person, just crossed the river by ferry, and the big monk greeted them in front of the temple.

The big monk put his hands together and accompanied Li Lijin into the abbot's room, while the little monk accompanied Zheng Banqiao who played the role of "bookworm". Immediately, tea and snacks were delivered.

Lily thought, it has nothing to do with me. He always wanted some words and pictures, so he said, "Master, you can prepare some paper!" " "

"Well, the young monk has already prepared it." With that, he led Li Li to the living room. As soon as the door opened, I saw Four Treasures of the Study on the table: pens, ink, inkstones and rice paper, neatly arranged.

Lily looked at Zheng Banqiao again and said to herself, Do you want to eat vegetarian food? I'll make fun of you today and let you take care of my ink. Then he said, "The book is extremely angry, so mind the ink." What is "palm ink"? Once upon a time, calligraphy was exquisite. If you want to write a dragon and phoenix dance, you always have to hold the inkstone in your hand and follow the writer's pen. Where the words are written, the inkstone follows. Zheng Banqiao was angry when he was asked to take charge of ink. He thought, I'm pretending to be extremely bookish, just for fun. Do you really treat me like a nerd? He wanted to quit, and it was inconvenient to speak, so he had to hold his silence and raise the inkstone.

Li Li dipped his pen in the inkstone, smiled, and after a pause, was about to start writing when the inkstone slipped from Zheng Banqiao's hand and fell in the middle of the rice paper. "Goo Liu Liu" rolled straight to the corner of the paper. ...

When Li Li saw it, a large Xuan paper on Hao Duanrui's desktop was dyed with a thick black ink from the bottom to the upper corner. Coupled with the ink stone bouncing on it, this ink stick is intermittent, which is really "indomitable spirit". Lili's face is as angry as a purple eggplant. He threw down his pen and said angrily to Zheng Jiqiao, "Write!"

"I write," I looked at the red-faced Li carp, then at the rice paper and said with a smile, "I don't write, I draw."

"Did you draw it? I see you draw! " Li Li said to herself, "This rice paper is stained with ink. How did you draw it? "

At this time, Zheng Banqiao unceremoniously picked up a pen, dipped in some ink, and drew on the rice paper. The big monk was in a hurry, because this rice paper was made by people in Xuancheng, Anhui Province, and now the little boy spilled the ink at once. What should I do? Masters don't draw, but extremely knowledgeable people are experts? He tried to stop him, but he didn't answer when he saw Li Carp, and he couldn't be angry himself.

This "pole" really has two sons! I saw him go up and down three times, tick, scratch, dot and poke on the intermittent ink line. Hey! The "big black barbell" turned into a cluster of ink bamboo, handsome and straight, slim as real. The monk couldn't help but blurt out, "wonderful! Wonderful! What a bamboo! " See "extremely" and took out a jade chapter from his pocket, covered in the next paragraph, and then looked at the bright red square seal is "Zheng Banqiao" two words, the big monk froze. He never imagined that it was the famous Zheng Banqiao standing in front of him, so he quickly folded his hands and greeted one after another: "I don't know if you came, I hope you don't care." He told the young monk to "make tea", but when he thought it was wrong, he added, "Make good tea!"

At this moment, Zheng Banqiao smiled at Lily and blinked, meaning, well, look, the big monk invited me. Lili just woke up. It turns out that Zheng Banqiao intentionally knocked over the inkstone and admired Zheng Banqiao one hundred and twenty times!

Immediately, the monk asked Li Li to write an inscription. Legend has it that this painting was still preserved in Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang in the early days of liberation.
