Deng's life was rough and poor. Deng was born in poverty, and his nature was clean. I have worked for six years (174 1 year) and studied 1 year. After school, I collect firewood and sell cakes for a living. Later, I took an examination of writing and lettering to make a living. Later, recommended by Cao Wenzhao and others, the title of the book was greatly improved. Deng started his lifelong travel career at the age of 20, traveling around the world, looking for teachers and friends everywhere. Deng was poor and diligent all his life, unwilling to be heard, advocating glory, unmoved by foreign things and not entering the official career. He saw through the corruption and filth of the officialdom, always insisted on being honest and clean, and kept the true colors of cloth. As an artist who devoted his whole life to art, he went his own way and lived a happy life.

Deng Shiru kept company with cranes in his later years. After Deng's death, the crane gave a shrill cry, whimpered for a few days, made a spin, disappeared into the desert sky, and its feathers gradually fell. Dressed in a cloth and looking up at the sky, I came carefully and left carefully; Knowing that all things have spirits is lighter than things outside; "You go home, I go home"-people and cranes are gone, leaving only a time of reunion between ancient and modern times. Deng is 62 years old. After the poet died, he left many self-titled couplets for later generations. This couplet is the bedroom of Tieyan Mountain in Dengzhai, Huaining County, Anhui Province. The famous self-titled couplets also include the self-titled studio of Tieyan Mountain House in Dengzhai, Huaining County, Anhui Province. "There are eight or nine huts, fishing in the rain and cultivating cigarettes. Better clean than poor, better expensive than cheap; There are thousands of words in bamboo books, and it is good for you to pour flowers, grain and wine into them. Close yourself and be clear about yourself. " Poets are willing to entertain themselves by being indifferent to painting. So what about poverty, so what about meanness. Cultivate one's morality, enjoy oneself, sprinkle flowers and books, and be at peace with the world.
