In order to supervise this year, Ziweixing became Wei Zihua and stayed in the world, bringing peace and beauty to the world. Legend has it that if the family is full of Wei Zihua, Wei Zixian will bring happiness to life.

Wei Zi Flower has a noble and feminine name. Among the traditional flowers in China, it is second only to plum blossom, orchid, peony, hibiscus, peony and lotus, and it is also one of the traditional famous flowers. Lagerstroemia speciosa is beautiful and colorful, and the flowering period can last for several months. Known as the "Hundred Days Red". Chen Jingyi, the author of "Wan Xiang is the ancestor" in the Southern Song Dynasty, even praised Lagerstroemia speciosa as "the saint of flowers".

Although the ancients left many excellent works praising Wei Zi, they rarely left ink on "paintings". Among the flower-and-bird paintings of past dynasties, there are only a handful of works with Wei Zi as the theme.

Some people think that there are not many Wei Zi paintings handed down in history, probably because Wei Zi's flower shapes are too complicated to handle. Lagerstroemia indica has 6 petals per flower, and the petals are wrinkled. If you use meticulous painting, it is easy to lose complexity. If it is a freehand painting, it is easy to be distorted, making people wonder what it is.

In terms of expression techniques, in addition to meticulous writing and capitalization accidents, there are also techniques such as part-time writing or small freehand brushwork.

Traditional flower-and-bird painting in China was dominated by college painting in the early days, and literati painting became the mainstream after the Song Dynasty. College painting pursues neatness and shape, while literati painting expresses the escape in the chest through painting. It does not pursue neatness and similarity, nor does it talk about purpose and value. It's just a "temporary interest", and the painting shows the author's unique interests and thoughts.

Therefore, college painters and literati painters not only have different creative techniques, but also have different interests in the choice of themes. Academic painters attach importance to the beauty of appearance and like to paint famous flowers and strange trees. Literati painters often choose plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum and other "gentleman flowers". In the minds of literati painters, the cultural connotation of the object is the most important selection criterion.
