[Fan page of Zheng Xie’s ink orchid painting]

The ink orchid painting fan page, Qing Dynasty, Zheng Xie’s painting, gold paper, ink pen, 16.8 cm vertically and 53 cm horizontally
The fan page has its own title: “The ancients cloud: the cold flower leaves several arrows. Banqiao cloud: one branch can also enter the east wind. So you can use the pen to make this.” “The cold word falls into the word ‘full hui’. Banqiao also records.” The seal is “Kerou” Zhu Wenyin and “Zheng Xiezhi” Bai Wenyin
This picture is a self-entertaining painting. In order to show that “one branch can also enter the east wind”, the author only drew a single cymbidium with flowers blooming. In order to make the simple painting more romantic, the author skillfully arranged the cymbidium stem into an inverted “S” shape with high right and low left, which not only breaks the plane space on the right and left, but also splits the high and low space on the top and bottom, making the picture vivid and varied because of the different areas. The flowers on the stem are also arranged skillfully. They are in different positions on the stem, either up or down, and are arranged in a well-arranged way. They change the stem from a thread into a rhythmic living body with different position relationship between each other. The title in the picture is written in the form of “random stones paving the street”, and its oblique and dense ink marks, like “big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate”, have become an important part of the painting, stabilizing the picture and enhancing the visual aesthetic interest of the painting
