“Chou Chou” is the seventeenth year of Wanli (1589) in the Ming Dynasty. Zhou Zhimian was 69 years old
The picture shows flowers with broken branches such as magnolia and begonia. Zhou Zhimian is a painter who pays attention to painting from life. He once fed birds and planted flowers in order to observe the birds’ drinking, pecking and flying posture and the growth process of flowers. Therefore, in the history of painting, he and the contemporary flower and bird painter Chen Daofu’s paintings are wonderful but not true. Lu Zhi’s paintings are true but not good. Only Zhou Zhimian’s paintings are both true and wonderful. It can be seen from this picture that Zhou depicts the flowers vividly and brilliantly through meticulous but not rigid lines and gorgeous but not thick colors. On the basis of realism, they are elegant and elegant
