He painted the image of the literati painting. The literati painting began in the Yuan Dynasty and had a long history. It was loved by the painter. It was more to express his mind and expression, and gradually formed the evaluation standard of "elegant and exquisite". He is deeply influenced by the Ba Da Shan Ren. The sculpt of flower and bird is exquisite and realistic and exaggerated and wild. It is intended to take its soul in the form of the shape. You see his "fishing", "spring song", "noon", simple things, unity of form and spirit, the pride of the heron, the joy of the geese, the laziness of the cat. Not only the taste of the ancients, but also the taste of the painter, the brush and ink fit, the harmony of the situation, the joy and the bright, let the person not be laughed at by the heart, it is the natural universal, the flash of the flowing, the moment is moving.

Mr. Bo Kui's painting is exquisite in the spirit of brush and ink. In his view, the brush and ink release a kind of mood, although it is flower and bird theme, but the image is magnificent, no less than the landscape, the pursuit of forgetting myself and any else, the unity of heaven and human. "Great luck", "autumn scenery beyond the Great Wall", "pine rhyme and quietness" and other paintings of composition fullness, with vigorous vitality, endow the limited artistic tension with the limited picture. Painting lines with calligraphic strokes, meticulous, thick and dry and wet corresponding, the charm of the natural and sonorous and powerful; ink containing false and real Yin and Yang, chapped and dyed subtle and beautiful, the five colors are suitable, the image is high spirit momentum, to achieve the state of "brush in ink, ink in brush", it can be described as the brush and ink and meaning to achieve the rhyme,to form a distinctive artistic feature of great weather and great feelings, especially the "100 chickens painting", with a hundred patterns of chicken, a hundred phases of life, and a long way to match his writing, and to read a tendency to break the bamboo and unstoppable.

Mr. Bo Kui's paintings are full of poetic flavor. His painting moved with his heart to achieve spiritual freedom, and then carefully adjusted to achieve the best. His paintings of flowers and birds mostly depict some common scenery in pastoral life, but they are ingenious, full of vitality and full of curiosity. This image is closely related to his rich spiritual world and broad-minded style of life. With a careful look at his paintings of "melon garden interest", "all things return to one", "forest interest" and so on, we can realize the natural view of "all things have love and all kinds of laws and harmony" in the painter's chest. In the eyes of a painter, every scene and object in life is full of fun, and all friends are capable of painting. Therefore, from the birds in the painting and the spirit of the flowers, we can all feel the painter's noble, simple and broad mind, and the spirit of happiness.

Mr. Bo Kui has a deep understanding of Chinese traditional philosophy. It is love at first sight when he is loved by the creator. In his view, one flower, one grass, one wood, one stone, all things come together, can reflect the whole world. When he was a child, he grew up in the countryside, surrounded by chickens, ducks and fishes. This natural state attracted young children to be close to and observe. At that time, a description of flowers and birds in a "Mustard garden picture" was made at home, and the seeds of art were planted in the heart of young Bo Kui's heart. So he picks up his pen and picks up his gourd and draws a detailed description of his feelings. In addition, the parents attach importance to the traditional culture and teach themselves, so that they grow up in the traditional culture, and imperceptibly and naturally infiltrate into the blood. With the passage of time, the fragrance of Chinese traditional culture, with the core of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, attracted him to trudge, wander and stir happily in the Chinese painting ink world.
He regarded painting as life and pursued it all his life. Learning Chinese painting is beyond imagination. He realized the importance of inheriting the tradition a few years ago, carefully read the ancient paintings carefully, read a lot of paintings of the past dynasties, and read the works of Ba Da Shan Ren, Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi and so on. In the process of creation, he felt that the flowers and birds of Chinese painting were more difficult than landscapes and characters, especially in the treatment of birds. For this reason, he studied and studied quietly to find a breakthrough. As a result, the Song and Yuan Dynasties calligraphy and painting book theory appeared on Bo Kui's desk. Of course, on the basis of the study of the landscape of the Song and Yuan Dynasties and the combination of the six methods, the method of painting and painting was applied to the creation of flowers and birds in the creation of a natural image, this is the painting language and style that belongs to.

The inscription on the painting is very special. "leisure thoughts on the shore" left inscription: "painters should not be able to write where people can go. If people can go to places, why should they borrow the pen?" If a painter is a poet, he is not as good at seeing poetry as a poet than as a poet. After ridiculing, I felt humor and innocence. "spring rhyme" also asks: "spring birds everywhere talk about new poetry, fine grass is glad to celebrate fine and sunny, twists and turns to wear flower bottom road, do not make a false move." To stop the birds in the painting, the state of the indecisive description is wonderful; and the "clear shadow" is more and more inscribed. Right inscription: "lively charm, out of heaven, people do not see their skillful man, the spirit of God; brush and ink excel, contagious and interesting, more than the charm; it is like, without losing the rules, predicate of the product." On the left side: "Shi Tao says:"painting of calligraphy, no matter what the old masters learn, first wins by gas, the spirit is shining out of paper. Laziness is shallow and no God, can not writing and painting, more flood, less fine, the male hide not to the length of paper, the ancients a piece of paper, price heavy, it is not easy to seek, it is not easy to lift? The time is not easy. So there is true spirit in the world. The owner of a hundred feet old rattan house makes a quick pen. " In the middle inscription, "painting must be done with unintended meaning, and then drawing machines in the hands, not for the first craftsman, but outside the law, to make nature, in the brush and ink, now on the paper." The paintings of the literati come to the face. The painter's character, philosophic thinking and pursuit are all ready to come out. He really deserves his three words: "You Ming Tang". It never rains but it pours!
