Bamboo painting is a unique theme of Chinese painting, Chinese people love bamboo, not only love the strength of bamboo, but also encourage themselves to be as proud as bamboo. It can be said that the aesthetic image left by bamboo in Chinese culture has influenced generations of Chinese people.

However, there is a well-known adage in painting theory: half a life paints bamboo, and a lifetime paints orchid. People who start to get into painting will learn to paint bamboo orchids, because they are the simplest and longest than expressions. But the seemingly simple orchid and bamboo are the most difficult to draw well.

People in different moods or people with different painting skills will draw completely different orchids and bamboos. From beginners to famous painters, they will consciously or unconsciously paint orchids and bamboos, but even if they are great painters, it is difficult to come up with good works that they are satisfied with and appreciated by everyone.

Therefore, this half-life painting of bamboo and painting of orchid not only illustrates its difficulty, but more importantly, it persuades people to strengthen their cultivation and make continuous progress in the process of painting bamboo and orchid.

Therefore, from ancient times to the present, there are only one or twenty famous masters who paint bamboo paintings, and Shi Tao is one of them. Moreover, because of his unique life, Shi Tao has influenced his painting skills, whether it is landscapes, flowers, birds and bamboos, they all have their own unique characteristics.

At this time, Shi Tao's technique in painting bamboo was re-displayed under Mencius Tao's brush.

When the painting was getting closer and closer to completion, the more surprised the faces of Song Huaiguo and the others appeared, especially Song Huaiguo, as a professional, he knew too well that Meng Zitao was at the level of painting bamboo, and it was not an exaggeration to call Meng Zitao a master.

I saw that in this painting, the ink color and the ink color work have reached the point of convincing, not only the dance is dynamic and shocking, but also the water is clear and the water is full, which is breathtaking.

When Meng Zitao stopped the pen in his hand, Song Huaiguo's eyes were full of shock, Meng Zitao's bamboo is flexible and strong, upright and free, the wind does not fall, the snow does not break, this level does not let the sages, it can be called a must.

Song Huaiguo's face was amazed, but he also had some doubts in his heart, how did Meng Zitao practice such a powerful painting skill at a young age? This is a bit unreasonable!

Meng Zitao smiled at Song Huaiguo: "Old Song, I don't know what you think of my picture of caryophyllus?"

Song Huaiguo couldn't help but praise: "Teacher Meng, your bamboo is simply amazing, in today's painting world, I have never seen such a good bamboo painting as you." ”

Meng Zitao said modestly: "Old Song, what you said is too exaggerated, and when it spreads, others will say that I am too arrogant." ”

Song Huaiguo said with a straight expression: "I'm not joking, your bamboo is completely worthy of everyone, the level of our painting is not to say, but to paint." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "I'd better keep a low profile." ”

Song Huaiguo also laughed: "It's normal for you to think like this, to be honest, if I hadn't seen that this painting was painted by you yourself, I wouldn't believe that it came from you." ”

Shu Ze said with a smile: "It's not that you are young and have no human rights!"

Song Huaiguo said: "You can't say that, after all, this industry really depends on the accumulation of years to improve the level, otherwise there will be no such thing as painting orchid for a lifetime and painting bamboo for half a life." It's not that there are no famous artists when you're young, it's just that it's too rare, and once it appears, it will cause a sensation. ”

Meng Zitao gave himself an explanation: "In fact, I have no intention of inserting willows and willows in this regard, I have studied calligraphy, and I like Shi Tao, one day when I was studying Shi Tao's bamboo paintings, I suddenly found that calligraphy and painting bamboo have some things in common, plus I have some foundation in painting, and I slowly practiced it." ”

The ancients painted bamboo is also called writing bamboo, which is a more specific and profound embodiment of the homology of calligraphy and painting, writing bamboo is not a solid calligraphy foundation and cannot, so Mencius Tao said this, but let everyone take it for granted, after all, Mencius Tao is called the contemporary grass saint, it is normal to have such a performance.

It's just that Song Huaiguo felt a little pity, he originally wanted to hear if Meng Zitao had any unique opinions, but he didn't expect that this method would be impossible for him to learn.

Chai Chengxuan said: "Old Song, I wonder if you can tell me the buyer of this painting?"

"Come with me. After speaking, Song Huaiguo took Chai Chengxuan outside the door.

Everyone is fine, Meng Zitao looked at the situation in the study, it was the painter's study, except for the books on painting, all of them were related to painting, and there were many paintings, but they were all imitations.

"Huh!"

Absorb Mencius Tao's attention, is a picture of a divine beast, this painting is a fine brush painting, in the painting the divine beast is squatting, the body is fat, the head is like a sheep, slightly to the left, slightly raised, the top of the head is in the middle of a thick short sharp horn, tilting backwards, from the root to the top of the tapering.

The beast's ears are turned back and pursed, the eyebrow bones are high, the eyes are round, the eyeballs are more prominent, and the mouth is slightly closed. The tail is fluffy and long, hanging low downward, spiraling forward and clinging to the lower part of the left hind rump.

The reason why Meng Zitao was attracted by this painting is because the appearance of the mythical beast is peculiar, the head is like a sheep and has a single horn, which is quite similar to the record of "Shu Wei Ji": "A pig, a sheep with a horn", but the characteristics of the beast's body with scales, wings, and non-hoofed feet are quite similar. It feels like a hysterical artifact, but it's vivid, as if it's real.

Just as Meng Zitao was looking at this picture of the divine beast, Song Huaiguo and Chai Chengxuan walked back again, and it could be seen from Chai Chengxuan's depressed appearance what the result was.

Shu Ze looked at him and asked, "Is that him?"

Chai Chengxuan nodded, and Shu Ze patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, since the matter has been confirmed, let's think about the solution, you can suffer if you want to suffer yourself, but next time you will have to raise the snack." ”

"Hey!" Chai Chengxuan sighed: "I haven't figured out what to do, the key is that I don't know how to tell the one in my family, tell her, I guess things are even worse!"

"I can't help you with this......"

When Shu Ze was chatting with Chai Chengxuan, Meng Zitao asked Song Huaiguo what the painting of Shenzeng was.

"I don't really know what it is. ”

Song Huaiguo replied: "This image is actually from a seriously damaged painting I got earlier, and the other parts were no longer clear at that time, only this divine beast can still see a rough idea, because I think the painting is very interesting, so I restored it according to it." ”

Meng Zitao felt curious and asked if the original painting was still there, but unfortunately Song Huaiguo said that because the original was too badly damaged, after restoring this mythical beast, he dealt with it.

After discussing the painting skills with Song Huaiguo, several people said goodbye and left.

After dinner, Chai Chengxuan sent Meng Zitao and Shu Ze back to the hotel.

Seeing Chai Chengxuan's preoccupied look, Shu Ze said, "What's wrong with you?"

Chai Chengxuan laughed dryly: "I still haven't remembered this, how can I tell her." ”

Shu Ze said: "If you don't know how to say it, then tell the truth, can she still eat you!"

Chai Chengxuan smiled bitterly: "Then I have to at least peel off the skin!"

"If you don't peel off your skin, how can you have a long memory!" Shu Ze got angry when he saw his appearance, so he simply came out of sight and out of mind, and sent him away quickly.

Seeing Chai Chengxuan drive away, Shu Ze shook his head: "This kid is becoming more and more indecisive, if it weren't for his Lao Tzu, it is estimated that his business would have been ruined long ago." ”

Meng Zitao smiled, everyone has their own creation, as a friend, at most they can only persuade, and they can't force Chai Chengxuan to make a decision with a knife, in the final analysis, they can only rely on Chai Chengxuan himself.

The two chatted and walked towards the elevator room, and as soon as they walked to the elevator door, they saw several fierce young people coming out of the elevator next to them, and Meng Zitao found that two of them were still acquaintances, and they were the two who starred in the stall before.

When the two of them saw Meng Zitao, it was really an enemy who was very red when they met, and they were pecked by geese all day long, and they felt ashamed to think about it. Now I happen to encounter it, and I always have to charge some interest before leaving.

The two of them whispered a few words to their companions, and then walked towards Meng Zitao and them.

Within two steps, they raised their fists and struck at Mencius's body, and one of them shouted.

"Boy, call you crazy!"

Originally, Meng Zitao just didn't want to see them in general, but now that the other party wants to send him to the door to die, then don't blame him for being polite.

So, the next thing people around can see in the movie, Meng Zitao walked between several gangsters like a ghost, and as soon as his body touched slightly, the gangsters flew out and hit the wall hard, but in the blink of an eye, he lay on the ground with a whimper.

In this situation, even Shu Ze, who knew Meng Zitao very well, was stunned, let alone others, Meng Zitao was like a heavenly man in their eyes.

At this time, the elevator door opened again, and out of it came a bloodstained security guard, he saw the people lying on the ground, and he was stunned, but immediately he became excited, kicked a few of them, and kept scolding.

After that, everyone learned what happened from the security guard.

It turned out that three days ago, the monitoring room found that two "card parties" were handing out small cards on the 8th floor of the hotel, and they immediately notified them with walkie-talkies. The store manager and the security guard then went to the 8th floor to check.

As soon as I got out of the elevator, I met those two "card parties". The store manager demanded that they immediately hand over the remaining illegal advertisements and said that they had called the police. At this time, the store manager found that he still had a large number of small advertisements in his hands and wanted to come forward to confiscate them as evidence of their illegal acts.

The police then arrived, but only one was caught, and the other escaped through the emergency tunnel.

And the group of people who were knocked down by Meng Zitao came to take revenge on the security guard today, they just found the security guard, and pulled him to the blind spot of the monitoring and beat him, I wanted to leave, but I didn't expect to provoke Meng Zitao and was served by a pot.
