First, the source and original explanation
This poem is from the Fisherman written by Guan Xiu. The whole poem is yellow chicken and green dog in a cage, and the fisherman sweeps the wind leaves. When we meet and laugh, we will get drunk and cross the bridge when we come to it. Yellow chickens and green dogs are full of flowers, and fishermen sweep the leaves on the boat. When the two old people met, they were slightly drunk in autumn and naturally untied the rope on the boat, without shame.

The author's main influence:
First, calligraphy.
Good calligraphy is called Jiangti, and cursive is the best. Compared with Huai Su, he especially likes to write thousands of words. Calligraphy, official script and seal script are all unique in his own creation. Guan Xiu's calligraphy is rarely handed down from generation to generation. No one knows what kind of structure the so-called ginger body is, but it can be proved that Guan Xiu's words were self-contained at that time and were valued by people at that time.
Second, poetry.
It has a long-standing reputation in the history of literature. His poetry inherits the tradition of Nie School, which is quite different from the poetic style of Jia Dao and others who only praise mountains and rivers and live an empty and bitter life. In particular, his satirical poems are highly respected by the world. Guan Xiu is good at reciting poems. Although most of his poems are about objects, landscapes or singing with monks and poets, they often touch the world.
Third, painting.
Guan Xiu's paintings include Vimalakīrti, Monk, Venerable Man, Lohan and some landscape paintings. But the most famous is his sixteen arhats. Guan Xiu's Taoist figure painting style, which is famous for its ugliness and Yi, gradually formed a wild and free painting tradition, which influenced many painters in later generations.
