Ancient and modern painters seldom like to draw mice, but the mice written by Qi Baishi, a master of Chinese painting, are lifelike and have both form and spirit. His painting The Mouse and the Oil Lamp has a simple and vivid composition. The oil lamp is painted on the left, and the flame on the oil core seems to be blown by the breeze. At the bottom right of the picture is a mouse, which is concise and full of agility.
Zhang Shuyu, a calligrapher, created a limited edition series of "Famous Calligraphy Zodiac", which combines the "auspicious" seal script with the "mouse" shape in the Zodiac, with rigorous composition and natural and vivid fonts.
Next to the zodiac, there is an auspicious poem written by an enlightened layman, which shows that Zhang Zhang is a unique masterpiece in the world. The meaning and form are just right, which can express all the meanings of good wishes.
