Zheng Banqiao had no plans to paint bamboo, and another person was related to the great writer Su Shi.

Meiju has always been a favorite theme of painters in China. When it comes to Mozi, the first thing that comes to mind is muddleheaded. I take it for granted that painting bamboo is naturally well-thought-out, but I never thought it was said by myself. He doesn't know how to draw bamboo, but one person really has a plan. This person is also the cousin of the famous Su Shi. Before Zheng Banqiao, there was a man in history who painted ink bamboo very well. He is Wen Tong of the Northern Song Dynasty. He said the word "have answers". He is regarded as the pioneer of literati painting. His bamboo is solid but not stiff, and its charm is smart but not slippery, which is very attractive. Few of his works have survived to this day. There is only one ink bamboo, and this one is enough to go down in history. Wen Tong (1018-1079), whose real name is Mr. Xiaoxiao, is called Mr. Shishi, etc. Zizhou Yongtai (now Sichuan Yanting) was born. Ren Qiongzhou, Yangzhou and other States, Yuan Feng served as the satrap of Huzhou in his early years, and did not take the lead, so he was called "Wen Huzhou". He is good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, and is famous for painting ink and bamboo slips. He advocates "planning" and then writing. Draw bamboo leaves with thick ink as the surface and light ink as the back. Under its influence, the "Wenhuzhou Bamboo School" was formed. There is no doubt that Wen Tong is an expert in painting one thing by one person. Wen Tong and Su Shi are cousins and artistic bosom friends. Su Shi is the most important figure among the admirers and disseminators of Wen Tong. The cousins "had their own romantic moments" and became advocates of Mozi bamboo. In addition to creation, their theoretical contributions are also very high, such as "impermanence, but common sense" and "those who achieve their goals contain things to argue", which involve the essence of artistic observation, artistic conception and artistic communication, and their significance lies not only in painting, but also in the creation of various artistic categories. Some scholars even think that Mozi bamboo is gradually endowed with new content and gained new prestige, which is widely welcomed by scholars, mainly because Su Shi appreciates Wentong Mozi bamboo. It can be said that Wentong's popularity largely benefited from Su Shi's propaganda. Wen Tong thinks: "People who don't know me in the world can only see my beauty". Sometimes Wentong will deliberately leave a blank in the picture frame, just waiting for Su Shi to recite. Su Shi's painting creation was also inspired by Wen Tong. For example, Mi Fei commented on Su Shi's ink-and-ink bamboo paintings: "Painting with clarity of mind, expressing the same style, claims to be fragrant with the Literary Federation. Su Shi once wrote to Wentong complaining that he had seen Wentong's ink bamboo in many scholar-officials' homes. He only had one stroke, so he specially invited someone to paint it. So Wentong gave him a "Bamboo Map of the Valley" and said, "This bamboo is several feet long, but it has a potential of 10,000 feet." The bamboo Wen Tong gave Su Shi was not ink bamboo, but colorful bamboo. After receiving the bamboo slips, Su Shi carefully framed them and praised them. Su Shi said in a poem: "When you can draw bamboo, you can't see people when you see bamboo. I didn't see anyone alone, but I left my body. Its body and bamboo are infinitely fresh, and Zhuang Zhou has none. Who knows this concentration? Wen Tong summed up the basic principles of painting bamboo, and advocated that "painting bamboo must precede the chest", which is the origin of "planning". Su Shi's bamboo painting was greatly influenced by Wen Tong, and Wen Tong's words were recorded in The Story of Painting with Ke (Wen Tong). Bamboo is born, with an inch of sprouting ears and clumsy leaves. Today, the painter is doing one thing after another, and the leaves are tired. He must be familiar with whether painting bamboo must be done on his chest first. He is the kind of person who can't wait to follow what he wants to draw, so as to catch up with what he sees, such as a rabbit falling and then passing. " This means that when bamboo is born, it is only an inch high bud, but the nodes and leaves are already available. From the belly of a cicada to the scales of a snake to a sword, various shapes were born. Now people who draw bamboo are painting one by one, piling up one by one. Where can I have complete live bamboo? So when painting bamboo, you must have a complete image of bamboo in your heart. If you look carefully with a pen, you will see the bamboo you want to draw. Then you will start to write, follow the image of bamboo in your heart in one go, and reproduce what you see in your heart. (This process) is like a rabbit jumping and flying, and an eagle swooping and beating. After a little hesitation, the opportunity is gone. Later, Zheng Banqiao also liked to draw bamboo. Now, he is still a fan of Wentong, and his paintings are often mentioned, which is enough to show the artistic charm and influence of Wentong painting bamboo. Zheng Banqiao wrote an ink and bamboo picture: "Those who are inside the paper are also outside the paper." This time, there are more bamboo poles than bamboo leaves, and those who show frost hide outside the paper! He also said: "Writing and painting are well thought out; Zheng Banqiao paints bamboo, but he doesn't know what to do. The so-called Weichuan thousand acres are also in the chest; Banqiao has accomplished nothing, such as lightning and thunder, and everything is angry. If not, it will cover Dahua's popularity. The way is like this, it is possible, and the Banqiao is not. One is that two people will understand. In fact, there is no contradiction with Wen and Ke. Pay attention to the combination of conception and technique, but this highly realistic ink painting with freehand brushwork and text is different in technique, that is, freehand brushwork and realism, abstraction and concreteness, similarity and similarity. Therefore, Zheng Banqiao's confidence is no less than his. What is particularly striking is that Zheng Banqiao's bamboo paintings also pay attention to the organic combination of painting and calligraphy. " Use the cursive vertical long strokes to transport it. He said, "Calligraphy should have lines, bamboo should have lines, calligraphy should have shades, bamboo should have shades, books should have density, and bamboo should have density. "Therefore, people can appreciate it from his calligraphy and painting. The grotesque stones painted by Zheng Banqiao are all sketched out first, then slightly scratched or brushed, but they are never colored and shaped like stalagmites. Their strength is very steep, and they often cross each other in the clouds, giving people a feeling of being "tough", "unruly" and "filled with smoke". Bamboo has always been loved by painters of all ages. Painting is divided into ten sects: Taoist Sect, Character Sect, Palace Sect, Dragon Fish Sect, Landscape Sect, Animal Sect, Flower and Bird Sect, Zhu Mo Sect and Fruit and Vegetable Sect. Ink bamboo becomes a door independently, which shows people's love for it. But when did people in China start painting bamboo? There is not enough material to find out the answer. There are many legends from Guan Yu, Wang Huizhi and Gu Kaizhi. Yu Xin, a great poet in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, said, "Shui Ying shakes bamboo, while Linxiang moves plum. Go straight to the mountain road, and you can walk several times. "It is understood that there was bamboo on the painting screen at that time. It has been 1400 years since today. There are two clusters of bamboos on the mural of Tang Taizi's tomb in Gan County, Shaanxi Province, which is one of the earliest colored bamboos seen so far. Zhang Yanyuan's Collection of Famous Paintings of Past Dynasties, Volume 10, said that the Tang Dynasty was "Xiao Yue, Xie Lvlang and Gong Zhu, all of one color and elegant". Bai Juyi also wrote a special "Painting Bamboo Song" to praise him. " If you don't have roots, you will follow your intentions, and if you don't have bamboo shoots, you will follow your pen. ""suddenly looking up is not like painting, but listening quietly is doubtful. "The picture information comes from the Internet. If there is any infringement, delete.
