Zhao Mengfu painted dead wood and bamboo stones, and on the basis of inheriting Wen and Su, he integrated the brush of calligraphy into painting. He advocated "painting and calligraphy are of the same origin", that is, painting with books. His famous poem in ancient and modern painting circles is "Stone flies as white as a pen, and writing bamboo is still in the eighth route." It had a great influence on later painting circles, and this painting embodies this theory. Shi Gan Tree is written with the "flying white" of calligraphy, with simple composition, vigorous and free brushwork, and full of strength. Bamboo, with its fluent style and the word "grid" or "knot", is both powerful and implicit, full of pen and ink interest, which embodies the elegance and charm of literati painters.

Judging from this picture and painting style, it can be regarded as Zhao Mengfu's works in his later years.
