This is my 85th Combined Paintingthat I have created / painted for Chinese Classical Poetry, and my 824th painting since 2003 ; also, it is my 215th assignment in Chinese National Academy of Arts.

This is the second time that I painted a picture to match the Chinese poem Yong Liu - by He Zhizhang ( ).

Main Meaning of the Poem

Ode to a Willow

by He Zhizhang ( Tang Dynasty)

A tall willow has been dressed with the leaves of jade,
Ten thousand twigs hang down like green ribbons
I wonder who cut out its slim leaves.
It is the spring breeze in February as a pair of scissors.

咏柳

贺之章 ( 唐 )

碧玉妆成一树高 - Bìyù zhuāng chéng yī shù gāo,
万条垂下绿丝绦 - wàn tiáo chuí xià lǜ sī tāo。
不知细叶谁裁出 - Bùzhī xì yè shuí cáichū,
二月春风似剪刀 - èr yuè chūnfēng sì jiǎndāo。

I really hope that my effort will be some help with you to learn Chinese culture and language
