Before a painter paints, he already has the image of bamboo in his mind-he has a well-thought-out plan/strategy.
Painters in the Northern Song Dynasty have the same language, word and ability. The bamboo he painted is well known, and many people come to paint it every day. Where is the secret of Wen Tong's painting bamboo? It turned out that Wentong planted all kinds of bamboos in front of and behind his house. No matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, it is cloudy and rainy. He often goes to the bamboo forest to observe the growth and changes of bamboo, and figure out the length and thickness of bamboo branches and the shape and color of leaves. As soon as he has new feelings, he returns to his study, spreads paper and grinds ink, and draws his impressions on paper. Over the years, the images of bamboo in different seasons, different weather and different times have been deeply imprinted in his mind. As long as you concentrate on writing and stand in front of drawing paper, the various forms of bamboo observed on weekdays will immediately emerge in front of your eyes. So every time he draws bamboo, he looks very calm and confident, and the bamboo he draws is vivid and lifelike.
When people praised his paintings, he always said modestly, "I just painted the mature bamboo in my heart."
There was a young man who wanted to learn to draw bamboo. He heard that the poet Chao was very good at Wentong's paintings, so he asked for advice. Huang wrote a poem for him, including two sentences: "You can use it to draw bamboo, and you have answers."

What is even more touching is Bambusa bambusa. This story happened in my hometown of Jinnan:
A thousand tears of bamboos. In ancient times, King Yao had two daughters. The eldest daughter's name is Nv Ying, the second daughter is E Huang, and the elder sister is two years old. Nvying and E Huang are handsome, virtuous and kind. Yao Wang likes his two daughters very much. King Yao chose Yu Shun as his heir and gave his two daughters to Shun as his wife. Shun has done many good things for the people while helping to manage state affairs. After the death of Emperor Yao, he ascended the throne, and the "Sanmiao" tribe in the south (now Hunan) repeatedly harassed the border. Shun led his troops south, and he led them to stick to the shore of the lake. When the army went south to Cangwu, Shun died unfortunately and was buried at the foot of Jiuyi Mountain (later called Lingling). When E Huang and Nv Ying learned the bad news, they cried until their eyes were bleeding. Tears spilled on the bamboo gas, and the bamboo was stained with spots and became a spotted bamboo. Later, the two sisters drowned. To commemorate E Huang and Nv Ying, a temple named Huangling Temple was built near Xiangshui. Legend has it that they both became the goddess of Xiang water, that is, the lady of Xiang. Their graves are on Mount Heng. After the death of the second princess, a kind of bamboo was produced in Junshan, Dongting Lake at the outlet of Xiangshui. The bamboo was stained with a faint purple scar, which is said to be formed by the blood and tears of the Second Princess. People named this kind of bamboo "Bambusa bambusa", also called "Torreya grandis". Chairman Mao's poem "A thousand tears in the spot bamboo" is this story.
Mrs. Zhu "Mrs. Zhu" is a frequently used word in ancient poetry. For example, Su Shi wrote a poem "Send Zhu Ji and Xie Xiucai" in the Northern Song Dynasty: "Leave me to sit on the firewood with you and give you a silent bamboo lady." Another example is Lu You's poem "Early Summer Seclusion" in the Southern Song Dynasty: "The bottle is exhausted and the Taoist priest is recruited, and Mrs. Zhu is newly hired by the bed."
What is "Mrs Zhu"? It turns out that this is an ancient heatstroke prevention appliance. Ci Hai explained: "When sleeping in summer, the instruments used for sleeping mats are made of bamboo green or all bamboo. They are cylindrical, hollow and have holes around them for ventilation. " But now bamboo products are rarely seen in the market, but there are many imitations, saying they are bamboo mats, but you can't feel cold when you sleep on them. It was only after testing that it was a plastic fake.
In ancient poetry, "Mrs. Zhu" is a word with high frequency of use. For example, Su Shi wrote a poem "Send Zhu Ji and Xie Xiucai" in the Northern Song Dynasty: "Leave me to sit on the firewood with you and give you a silent bamboo lady." Another example is Lu You's poem "Early Summer Seclusion" in the Southern Song Dynasty: "The bottle is exhausted and the Taoist priest is recruited, and Mrs. Zhu is newly hired by the bed." They are all round bamboo products made of bamboo with holes in the middle. When you are sultry, upset and can't sleep, why worry that Miss Hanzhu in your arms can't enter the sweet dream?
Bamboo is also a symbol of elegance, purity, humility and restraint. There are few gardens and bamboos in ancient and modern gardens. If there is bamboo at home, it will blow on the window in spring, and the air will be sufficient. The bamboo shadow is swaying and the posture is in the painting. The green leaves don't fade in winter, so they are handsome. Even my small office has a feeling that "I can't live without this gentleman for a day".
