There was a painter named Sun in the late Qing Dynasty.

Famous painter and calligrapher. Mei Lan and Zhu Ju are both beautiful, especially painting bamboo. Big bamboo is magnificent, vigorous and tall; Bamboo is dense, deep and elegant. At that time, Wu especially liked the bamboo here, bought one and sent it to Runge at the price of 400 yuan, which caused a sensation in Beijing.

Sun, whose real name is Xing, was born in Sunjiawanzi Village, yutian county, Zhili, Hebei Province on June/0/980/870. His father is good at painting and calligraphy, with profound attainments. His mother (stepmother) Sun Shi is famous for her filial piety and charity in the village. Because her husband is away, she is in charge of family affairs. Every spring drought, she opened a warehouse to help the poor and fought a big fight against poverty. This charity has been appreciated and respected by my family Sun Huanlun. As a result, Li (a native of Huangpi, Hubei Province), then the interim president, wrote a book with the inscription "Filial piety and housekeeping" to show good deeds and spread it as a story.

Under the influence of his father, Sun Xing, who liked painting and calligraphy since childhood, became obsessed with painting and calligraphy after learning the Four Books and the Five Classics. Over time, his level of painting and calligraphy became more and more perfect, and he gained fame (a prize) at 1889. 1892, he went to Beijing with his father and opened Baoxing optical shop in Beijing, doing business during the day and studying calligraphy and painting at night. Coincidentally, I live in an alley with Mr. Qi Baishi, who later became a great master. Qi Baishi's eldest grandson woke up at the age of seven and admired each other because of their common interests and hobbies. He had a feeling of knowing each other and hating being late. Since then, the two have learned from each other in the field of calligraphy and painting, and their artistic level has been greatly improved. 19 19, Sun Xing participated in the "Hushe Painting Society" with Jinbeilou as its founder in Beijing, and met a large number of famous painters and painters, such as Zhou Yang 'an, Jinbeilou, Xiao Xun, etc. Under the influence of the palace, three sons and one daughter (the eldest son Leshan, the second son Leshui, the third son Lexian and the second daughter Rong Shu) were all members of the "Lake Society" at that time.

Palace calligraphy is good at painting, Mei Lan and Zhu Ju are both good, and they especially like painting bamboo. Over the years, he insisted on sketching nature and combining traditional techniques to make the bamboo in his works interesting. Big bamboo is majestic, vigorous, straight and vivid; Bamboo is dense, deep and graceful, and the painting method is unprecedented. No wonder Wu (who is also good at painting bamboo) managed to get a 4-foot-square bamboo when he was painting bamboo in Youmuxing, and then sent an adjutant to give Runge 400 yuan as a reward, which caused a sensation in Beijing. Wu loves the bamboo forest in his palace, hangs it in his study and often watches it.

It is precisely because the bamboo in the palace is unique that many celebrities in Beijing, such as Jincheng (North Building), Zhou Yang 'an () and Qin Yu (), have spoken highly of it. They think that Cynthia painted by Mr. Sun Xing is "not inferior to Banqiao, lively and dynamic, which is far behind Banqiao".

1998, Mr. Sun Zhu (the fifth son of the imperial palace) held the "Returning Home Exhibition of Stone Paintings and Calligraphy Works in the Eighty Years of Art" in Tangshan, and exhibited 12 pieces of works by Zhu, Lan and Ju of the imperial palace, which attracted the attention of artists and audiences in his hometown. Eighty years ago, people sincerely praised the works of the palace, and today it still looks full of vitality. Today, with such superb technology and extraordinary charm,

Just when the art of awakening the public reached perfection, he died in September of 1928 and 17 due to a serious illness, and bid farewell to his favorite painting and calligraphy art prematurely at the age of 58. Fortunately, his fifth son, Sun Zhu (formerly known as Sun Lecheng), was renamed Sun Zhu in the early 1950s to commemorate his late father. The deceased. ) Inherited his father's painting style and techniques, he spent his life with stones and splashed ink, becoming a famous contemporary painting and calligraphy seal cutting artist and inheriting the art of awakening the public.
