Qing Dynasty: Zheng Xie
Section after section, thousands of branches and leaves.
I don't blossom, so I don't tease bees and butterflies.
The bamboo grows from section to section, and all the leaves come out. I don't bloom, so that bees and butterflies are not entangled.
Theme: This poem is about the lofty integrity of bamboo, which does not compete with white flowers for beauty and fragrance, and does not provoke bees and butterflies. It also refers to the author's own way of transcending the secular and getting close to nature.

Zheng Banqiao once said: "Where I draw bamboo, there is nothing to learn from, but more paper windows, powder walls, sunshine and moon shadows." Yes, he has been accompanied by bamboo all his life. He planted many bamboos in front of his house. In summer, he put a small bed in the bamboo forest.
Lie down and read, enjoy bamboo and smell it. In autumn and winter, he cut the bamboo pole into small pieces, made the window lattice, and then pasted it with white paper. When the weather is warm, pieces of bamboo shadow are reflected on enough paper, just like a natural bamboo painting.
Zheng Banqiao once described the scene of painting bamboo: "Seeing bamboo in the morning is clear in autumn. Smoke, sun shadows and dew are all floating between sparse branches and dense leaves. The chest is full of vitality, so it is picturesque. In fact, the bamboo in the chest is not the bamboo in the eye.
Therefore, grinding ink, spreading paper and putting pen to paper are all disguised forms, and the bamboo in the hand is not the bamboo in the chest. "What he said in this passage is the law of painting creation: bamboo in the eye-bamboo in the chest-bamboo in the hand, that is, looking at bamboo, thinking about bamboo and painting bamboo.
So is the writing process. When writing, we are often excited and lack a deep understanding of what we feel, which requires calm observation, vertical and horizontal comparison and calm thinking in order to grasp its spiritual essence.
