Bamboo is Zheng Xie’s best subject. He can accurately capture the dynamic and charm of bamboo branches and leaves swaying in the wind and vividly display them. At the same time, the noble, elegant, tenacious and unyielding nature of bamboo can also best reflect Zheng Xie’s upright character. Zheng Xie’s painting of plum is only this one, but because of his profound artistic skills, he can also express the plum freely. The petal is the center of the pen. Although its shape is different, its natural strokes and smooth circles outline the vigorous vitality of the flower. Plum and green bamboo represented by moist ink reflect their different beauty in the mutual contrast.
