During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan, the monarch of the State of Wu, liked painting and specially asked the great painter Cao to paint a screen. On this day, he invited ministers to appreciate these famous paintings. Everyone appreciates Cao's painting skills very much and thinks they are really exquisite. Suddenly Sun Quan saw a fly stop on the screen and refused to fly away. He quickly reached out to fight, but the fly did not move. It is Cao who is painting. Every time he cleans, he paints it as a fly. He was so frightened that he was appreciated by Sun Quan. This is the story of "mistaking ink for flies".

Funny thing in the painting: Mifissoto plays the role of the sleeping Buddha.

There is a lotus pond in Lianshui City, Jiangsu Province. Mifei loves flowers and paintings, and often sits on rockeries, thinking hard and drawing lotus flowers. Next to the lotus pond is Nengren Temple, where the reclining Buddha master enjoys a high reputation. However, although the Sleeping Buddha and Mifei have a good friendship, it is very difficult to get a painting. When the reclining Buddha saw that Mi Fei had finished painting, he had a plan, so he prepared several dishes and brought a pot of wine to the boat to drink with Mi Fei. Miffy is a person who is crazy about drinking. Soon he will be barefoot, with long hair, jumping wildly, running and falling. After waking up, the lotus figure disappeared, and Mifei thought it was taken by the reclining Buddha. But because of his feelings, he finally came up with a way to find a pair of sleeping buddhas and beat about the bush. Of course, sleeping Buddha is clear, but he keeps a straight face and pretends not to know. One refers to mulberry asking Huai, the other refers to deaf-mute, deliberately interrupting. Mi Fei pointed to the lotus pond and said, "I have a pair. If it's right, it counts. No, it is the lotus map. " The reclining Buddha said, "Please come out first! However, as promised, I can't draw. Even if I lose, please draw for me. " Mi Fei did not ask July 21, but posted the first couplet: "Who will wear the lotus monk in the river?" Ming is right, but this is a problem. Lying Buddha said, "The roadside grass thieves stole it and spread it everywhere!" Yes, neat, no stubble. Mi Fei saw that he was right and made another couplet: "There is no difference between Yin and Yang in three years and five years." Lying Buddha did not show weakness and replied, "The vernal equinox in February and the vernal equinox in August are neither too hot nor too cold." Miffy couldn't help it, and her heart ached. He even said, "All right, all right." Sleeping Buddha was happy and casually replied, "Wonderful!" Two people laugh at the sky, each does not show.

Interesting thing in the painting: Zheng Banqiao's "Save something to eat"

Zheng Banqiao, one of the eight eccentrics in Yangzhou, lived in Suzhou before coming to Yangzhou. He opened a painting shop at the eastern end of Taohua Lane in Suzhou City, and made a living by selling paintings. At the western end of Taohua Lane, there is also a studio owned by Zijing Lu. Zijing Lu is good at drawing plum blossoms. He flaunted his plum blossom as "seeing the flowers moving from a distance and seeing the flowers nearby". This means that he paints like a real plum blossom.

Since Zheng Banqiao came to Suzhou, he painted some scales and landscapes of bamboo and Henaan, but he didn't paint plum blossoms. This plum blossom was painted by Zijing Lu, but Zheng Banqiao claimed to be inferior, so he knew nothing about it. Usually, if someone asks to draw plum blossoms, he always smiles modestly and says, "My plum blossoms are far worse than those drawn by Mr. Lu." Go, I'll take you to Teacher Lu to draw! "

Zheng Banqiao really led the buyer to find Zijing Lu at the west end of Taohua Lane, and asked him to sell a plum blossom picture and get some scattered money to support his family. Zijing Lu is a scholar, dragging his sick body with his parents, wife and children, and his life is quite difficult. He painted plums realistically and vividly, and every petal was lifelike. Zheng Banqiao always spoke highly of Zijing Lu's paintings in front of everyone, praising: "The plum blossoms painted by Mr. Lu, even if I study for another ten or eight years, may not be able to draw to this extent."

A senior official retired and went home. He is proficient in calligraphy and has high taste. Seeing that Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy and painting are the best, he came up with a painting title of "Plum Blossom Valley with Unique Fragrance" and offered a high price of 500 taels of silver. He personally came to Zheng Banqiao's studio and asked Zheng Banqiao to paint. Zheng Banqiao declined and said, "Mr. Shangshu, Mr. Zijing Lu is still a good painter when it comes to painting plums. Let's just say that the plum blossoms he painted can be worth fifty taels of silver, and the ones I painted are worth fifty taels of silver at most! "

Hearing this, the old minister asked Zijing Lu for money.

Days fly by day. Zheng Banqiao has lived in Suzhou for three years, and he will move to Yangzhou. When he left, Zijing Lu came to see him off. When the literati bid farewell, they should write poems as gifts. When painting friends leave, of course, they send each other in the color of the painter. This time, Zheng Banqiao gave Zijing Lu a plum blossom.

Zheng Banqiao spread out the paper, waved the pen, and the pen tilted to one side. From deep to shallow, he drew a plum tree trunk with white spots. When painting flowers, the ink depth should be appropriate, some light and some heavy, and the petals should be pointed out directly with light ink, and then the lower end of the petals should be infiltrated with Jiao Mo when the water is not dry. The plum blossoms drawn in this way are hearty, smooth in brushwork and high in spirit. Looking at the structure of the whole picture, only three or four plum blossoms are clearly drawn, and the rest are smeared. There is really an artistic conception of "striking a thousand trees and only seeing three or five flowers pleasing to the eye".

Zijing Lu looked at the plum blossom painted by Zheng Banqiao and kept his mouth open for quite a while. He was stupefied for a long time before muttering, "Brother Zheng has such superb plum painting skills, why didn't you teach me early?"

"I'm afraid that Brother Lu is modest and refuses to make plum blossom drawings again, so the reward for painting will be much less." Zheng Banqiao said quietly.

At this time, Zijing Lu suddenly realized and said gratefully, "Brother Zheng doesn't paint plum blossoms to save his brother a meal." .

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty in ancient China, a Buddhist temple named Crock Temple was built in Nanjing. After the temple was completed, the monks asked for donations. One day, a young man came to the temple and wrote several "millions" in the donation book. People are very surprised, because in the past few days, among many donors, no one has donated more than100000 yuan. Everyone thought that this poor young man named "Tiger Head" was bragging and doodling. The monk immediately asked him to erase the numbers he had written, but the young man confidently said, "Don't be busy! Find me a blank wall first. " So he closed the door and drew a picture on the designated blank wall, but his eyes didn't draw. At this time, the young man said to the monk, "Everyone who comes to see the painting on the first day should donate100000 yuan to the temple;" Donate 50 thousand the next day. The amount of donations after that is up to you. "When young people stippled Vimalakīrti's eyes in public, the door of the temple was open like a divine light, and the whole city was shocked. People rushed to the temple to paint. They all praised the picture for its vividness. There is an endless stream of people looking at the paintings. It didn't take long for millions to make up. This painter is Gu Kaizhi, a great painter in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
