About The Artwork
A mocking bird stands on the bamboo attentively looking far into distance and enjoying this snowy winter together with its friend bamboo. Bamboo's long life makes it a Chinese symbol of longevity. In Chinese culture, the bamboo, plum blossom, orchid, and chrysanthemum are collectively referred to as the Four Gentlemen. These four plants also represent the four seasons and, in Confucian ideology, four aspects of the junzi("prince" or "noble one"). The pine , the bamboo, and the plum blossom are also admired for their perseverance under harsh conditions, and are together known as the "Three Friends of Winter" in Chinese culture. Bamboo, one of the “Four Gentlemen” (bamboo, orchid, plum blossom and chrysanthemum), plays such an important role in traditional Chinese culture that it is even regarded as a behavior model of the gentleman. As bamboo has some features such as uprightness, tenacity and hollow heart, people endow bamboo with integrity, elegance and plainness, though it is not physically strong. Ancient Chinese poets wrote countless poems to praise bamboo, but actually they were truly talking about people like bamboo and express their understanding of what a real gentleman should be like. Symbols of authenticity Standard will be legal name signature seal and signature included in the painting. Every painting will be customized for you. So I can include more sentence in the painting, including the annotation and two more seals - my artistic name seal and free seal. Those are free of charge. The annotation contains Chinese Lunar year and artist real name in writing - Each painting is customized. The annotation will be changed based on the painting completion date. Condition: What to expect an Original Chinese Painting The painting is not mounted or framed. The painting is in excellent condition but I need to let you know below fact to avoid any misunderstanding: The painting will be folded and securely sealed in water proofed protection. Because of the thinness of Shuan Paper, when you open the package, you will see some folds and hairline creases. Once the painting is mounted properly, the fold lines will be gone completely.

I am a professional Chinese gongbi painter specializing in Gongbi flower and birds painting, especially in painting peony and lotus flower. This style of art was accomplished in secret in royal palaces and private homes back to ancient China. Only the wealthy could afford such artists. I also specialize in archaizing antique/ancient Chinese gongbi painting. I am a member with a few biggest professional artist organizations in China (1) Signed-up artist with CCTV China Influence Power, Culture China (2) Membership in Chinese Painter Calligrapher Association (3) Membership in Ningbo Federation of Literary and Art Circles, subsidiary of China Artists Association Below are some awards and achievement I received: (1) Outstanding award - from 2013 Group exhibition hosted by CCTV China Influence Power, Culture China, and China Eastern Museum (2) Outstanding award - from 2012 - Group exhibition hosted by CCTV China Influence Power, Culture China, and China Eastern Museum (3) Bronze award - from 2012 Top Traditional Chinese Painting Fall Exhibition and Auction Outstanding award - from 2011 - Group Exhibition Hosted by Artxun (4) Artwork was kept by China Eastern Museum as museum collection (5) Ranked as top 6 artist in Zhejiang Province (equivalent to a State in USA) by Artsun History of Gongbi Painting The gongbi style had its beginnings approximately 2000 years ago during the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD) when Han's political stability and its prosperity favored the advancement of the arts. These paintings peaked out between the Tang and Song Dynasties (7th to 13th centuries) when these refined paintings were endorsed and collected by the royal families of China. The gongbi artists to perfect this style must totally commit themselves to these techniques. Only the wealthy could afford such artists. This style of art was accomplished in secret in royal palaces and private homes. Peony The peony is among the longest-used flowers in Eastern culture and is one of the smallest living creature national emblems in China. Along with the plum blossom, it is a traditional floral symbol of China, where the peony is called 牡丹 (mÇ”dÄn). It is also known as 富贵花 (fùguìhuÄ) "flower of riches and honor" or 花王 (huawang) "king of the flowers", and is used symbolically in Chinese art. In 1903, the Qing Dynasty declared the peony as the national flower.
