Although bamboo is not strong, it is tall, straight and tough, and it is not afraid of cold and heat.
Bamboo is said to be the embodiment of a gentleman. There are records about seven sages of bamboo forest in Wei Chunqiu. Seven of them often gather in the bamboo forest to create literature. These seven people also advocate metaphysics. Although they are pursuing the same thing, there is still a gap in understanding.
Ji Kang, Ruan Ji, Liu Ling and Ruan Xian have always advocated the study of Laozi and Zhuangzi, saying that "the more famous people are, the more natural they are", while Dan Tao and Wang Rong are good at Laozi and Zhuangzi and are mixed with Confucianism, while Xiang embroidery advocates the integration of Confucianism and nature. They live an informal life, quietism, and gather in the bamboo forest to drink and sing. Their works expose and satirize the hypocrisy of Sima Imperial Court.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a master of bamboo painting. His name is Wen Tong. In order to be able to draw realistic bamboo, he lives in the bamboo forest all the year round, and he never gives up whether it is hot or cold. In order to understand the bamboo under the storm, he often goes to the bamboo forest to observe the bamboo swaying with the wind when it rains, regardless of his health.
In this way, after years of careful observation and research on bamboo, he clearly knows the state of bamboo in what season and weather. So when you draw bamboo, you don't need to sketch at all.
Later, the bamboo painted by Wen Tong became famous, and people came to ask for paintings in an endless stream. In order to observe bamboo more carefully, he planted a large area of bamboo in his backyard, observed it every day, and went back to his room to draw what he observed.
Day after day, year after year, various images of bamboo are deeply imprinted in his heart. Therefore, every time he draws bamboo, it seems very calm. The bamboo he draws is vivid and lifelike, and later generations praise him for drawing bamboo with confidence.
The ancients loved bamboo, and literati chanted and painted for it, which also formed a unique bamboo culture.
