Bamboo painting occupies a considerable position in the traditional painting art in China. In the middle Tang Dynasty, bamboo has formed a special painting theme. Wentong in Northern Song Dynasty initiated Huzhou Bamboo School, and was honored as the originator of Zhu Mo Painting School by later generations. Ke, Gao and Ni Zan in Yuan Dynasty, Wang Bi, Xia Chang and Xu Wei in Ming Dynasty, Shi Tao, Pu Hua and Wu Changshuo in Qing Dynasty all painted a large number of bamboos, which promoted the development of bamboo painting art and made important contributions to the development and perfection of bamboo painting techniques and theories. So far, the art of bamboo painting in China has maintained an enduring momentum, which is a unique cultural phenomenon in China. Bamboo painting has been popular in the Tang Dynasty, and the ink bamboo in Chinese painting was founded in the Tang Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty, painting bamboo was more successful. Famous bamboo painters emerge one after another. The great poet Su Dongpo is a master of bamboo painting, and his second son Su Guo is a master of bamboo painting. His best friend Wen is also a master of bamboo painting, and he has superb bamboo painting skills. Su Dongpo's painting theory of "having a plan in mind" has been followed by Mohist painters in past dynasties and by traditional painting creation. His painting "Ink Bamboo Map" is a masterpiece and elegant. His masterpiece "Appreciation of Xiao Gu Zhu Document Painting" is a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation. The article said: "Draw bamboo first." Famous bamboo painters of past dynasties have their own characteristics and formed various schools in painting practice. Their bamboo paintings are very vivid and lifelike, so Bai Juyi once praised "looking up suddenly like a picture and listening to doubts" in "Brush Songs". Bamboo painting was also quite prosperous in Qing Dynasty, and the sudden emergence of "Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou" created an unprecedented situation for bamboo painting. The traditional requirement of Chinese painting is to truly reflect the objective form of natural scenery, while Zheng Banqiao's bamboo painting not only shows the natural characteristics of the objective object, but also shows the author's personality, thoughts and attitude towards society. He not only left many wonderful bamboo paintings, but also left "Sixty-nine Inscriptions on Bamboo", and he praised "a bamboo gentleman, a master, a chitose friend, and the Four Seasons Spring".
