About This Design

Bamboo in Water

Bamboo in Water

Bamboo in Water is a brush painting in traditional Chinese free style (Xie Yi) technique with ink on rice paper. Bamboo has been an important and meaningful subject for painting during many periods in Chinese history. The Chinese often compare bamboo to gentleman for its unique character of being neither cringing nor arrogant. Furthermore, bamboo painting is symbolic of self-effacing, integrity and safety. For the tall and straight bamboo and its joints, people also present bamboo painting to express good wishes of being promoted to a higher position or rank successively. The representative of symbolic Chinese flowers painting is "Four Gentlemen" and "Three Friends of Winter". Plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum were known as the Four Gentlemen. Their common traits are nobleness, modesty, and integrity. And as the Three Friends of Winter, pine, bamboo, and plum blossom are often associated with man of great virtue from another level Within feng shui , bamboo symbolises grittiness, modesty, and successive promotion. The XieYi technique, also called "Free Style", is painted fresh from the hand and the design of the image is subject to few restrictions. Xie means to write and Yi the meaning. A famous Master of Chinese painting, said that Xieyi indicated the fact of drawing the spirit of the beings. Painting Xieyi uses many techniques of calligraphy which privilege the spontaneity of the line. Free style paintings are thus very quickly carried out. In the style of calligraphy, the image should not be painted, but written. In China the calligraphy always belongs to the painting. It’s like the signature from the artist. The bigger characters are always the title of the painting. This one is without the originally calligraphy.

This is the 1st time I used Zazzle and was 100 percent pleased with the overall high quality of the workmanship. . The quality of the paper, image (taken from a drivers license) was exceptional (5 Stars) and surpassed my expectations. I received numerous compliments on the Remembrance card and what a beautiful keepsake of a loved one. I was notified of delivery and could easily track my package. I would highly recommend. I plan on ordering business cards and Christmas cards since I was so satisfied with this experience. The printing was beautiful. The picture I used was from a drivers license (we all know what that’s like). I was totally surprised at the high quality of the image and how well it worked on the card. Totally pleased with the high quality outcome.

I didn't read the size of it as i ordered & it was bigger than I thought but in this case bigger was better. & it came in time for the memorial. The quality of these cards where amazing the cards were thick, very good quality & they looked beautiful. In the picture the color looks purple but they are a dark gray. Everyone loved them.
