Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage
After they had become sworn brothers at Taoyuan, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei made concerted efforts to restore the Han Dynasty. But they felt that it would be impossible to do it without the help of a smart adviser. The Liu-Guan-Zhang alliance later won one battle after another thanks to the advice of Xu Shu. But before long, Xu had to surrender to the opposing camp of Cao Cao in order to save the life of his mother who was abducted by the Cao troops. Before he left, Xu Shu recommended Zhuge Liang to the brothers.
Accompanied by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei went to Wolonggang in Longzhong in the hope of inviting Zhuge Liang to be their military adviser. But Zhuge's servant said: "The Mentor left in the morning."Liu Bei asked the servant to forward to Zhuge Liang his message that the brothers had come to visit him. After that, Liu rode his horse away, returning home sullenly. A few days later when he learned that Zhuge Liang was at home, Liu Bei went for another visit along with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. The servant said: "The Mentor is reading books at his thatched cottage." Liu requested to see him. When they learned that the one reading books at the thatched cottage was not Zhuge Liang himself but his brother Zhuge Jun, the Liu-Guan-Zhang brothers left a letter to express their admiration and then braved heavy snows to return home.
Not long after they returned to their barracks at Xinye, Liu Bei wanted to visit Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage once more. But Guan Yu dissuaded Liu from going by saying that perhaps Zhuge Liang was not as smart as expected and that he was simply dodging the visiting brothers for that. Zhang Fei said: "You don't need to go. I'll tie him up and force him to come and see you instead." Liu Bei lost no time in telling his brothers the story of King Wen bent on visiting one of his subjects called Jiang Ziya. Liu, Guan and Zhang, therefore, paid a third visit to Wolonggang. They had no sooner arrived than the servant said: "The Mentor is sleeping." Liu Bei waited until Zhuge Liang was awake and dressed . Finally, he consented to see the brothers. Liu Bei paid three visits to the thatched cottage without complaint. He finally succeeded in inviting Zhuge Liang to be his military adviser and to help the brothers in their cause.

Artists the engraved on the wall, a long walls, I think it makes sense is when people in walking can also read and according to the development of the story he looked back wall beginning here, or can it across the river from start to finish to see, because it will be more clear for him the strong very high if it is on the same side to watch is hard to avoid the need to raise his head to see one of the best views across the river, you can see all, I also think his painting is not much is straightforward but a look at can understand so when I am painting I also want to simple and clear expression I trying to say, And although it is simple, there is continuity between each picture, so I want to be simple but also have integrity and coherence, each movement and each picture should have the coherence.

It's like a little scene of people fishing in the fields and then showing it with stitches. It's a novel way of expression for me, because up to now all I think about is how to draw, how to draw and what to draw. But I think I can still draw a shape on the cloth and then express it with stitches.

Chinese traditional painting is the most famous, some ceramic bowls or chopsticks ,can be used to open the packaging of traditional Chinese paining, and traditional Chinese painting is something like science painting, can be more simply said to be landscape.The tool used to draw this kind of painting is the brush. The brush made by different sizes of the brush is different , When the brush pen takes up the ink, the stroke posture will be different, and the effect will be different if the ink is added more or less. I tried to learn this brush stroke when was drawing my works, but I forgot to try the effect of adding water.
