Remarks:
This is my 804th painting since 2003and the 440th Chinese Xieyi Painting, the 198th assignment that I have completed in Chinese National Academy of Arts .
This is the 22nd painting that I painted for the series stories and my long scroll銆婁簩鍗佸洓瀛濄��: Er Shi Si Xiao Tu -- The Twenty-Four Dutiful Children .
This story names 鑰佽幈瀛愭垙褰╁ū浜诧細 Lao Laizi Wore Colored Clothes to Please His Parents.
Lao Laizi was a hermit in Chu State (in today鈥檚 Hubei Province and the North part of Hunan Province in the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 B.C.).
For avoiding the time of misfortune, he worked as a farmer to raise himself at the southern foot of the Meng Mountains( it was the ancient name of the Xiang Mountains in Jing Men, Hubei Province before the South Song Dynasty (1127-1279).
Lao銆�Laizi respected his parents very much and always he picked up the good food for them. When he was 70 years old, instead of saying old, he was often in the colored clothes and played a little rattle as a little child, to please his parents.
Once, he carried water for his parents, he fell down on the floor at the moment to enter in their room, for being afraid of his parents in the sadness, simply, he laid on the floor to learn a child crying, so that his parents could not help laughing. :- )
With a moved heart, I painted this painting and hope to help you to under the story.
How do you think of this painting and this story? Do you enjoy them?
