Bamboo shadow

Chen Jun's "Bamboo Moon Night Tour" echoes the theme of night tour in the Southern Song Dynasty, depicting the night when the rain stops, the clouds open and the moon is bright, the bamboo shadow is leisurely, and the courtyard scene where Hsinchu grows. The bamboo stone painting in the picture is strong and powerful, and the ink color is appropriate, which vividly describes the romantic scene of the bright moon in the sky, and the bright moonlight spilling on the bamboo leaves and the lake stone after the rain. The ink texture effect created by the background of the picture is like the clouds in the sky at night, which forms the contrast and setting off of the virtual and real relationship with the bamboo stone in the foreground, increasing the visual durability of the picture and the overall ink charm.

Poetry

Zong Baihua once said, "The quiet contemplation and the leap of life constitute the two elements of art, and also constitute the state of mind of 'Zen'."

The solid bamboo stones and the transformed ink paintings in Bamboo Moon Night Tour constitute a picture full of meditation. When appreciating the painting, the viewer can imagine himself as a poet who swims at night by candlelight in the moonlight, quietly watching the light and shadow dancing in the moonlight, and the exquisite lake stone, and understand the gentleman's character of endless bamboo cultivation and perseverance. Feel the poetic mood of the bright moon sending acacia thousands of miles away.
