Handscroll; Ink on paper; 514cm(width)*22cm(height) In the artist's own words, this painting is "full of gentlemen," with orchids, bamboo, and stone expressing the elegance and vivacity of the scene. The leaves of the orchid are lush, and the flowers are in bloom. The flowers have a sense of order to them. Although they are abundant, they do not look cluttered. The denseness of the white ink is appropriate for the brush, reflecting the artist's ability to control both. Zheng likens the orchids to a gentleman, while the thorns represent a villain. At the same time, his fondness for bamboo is evident, hinting that he is different from others. Among the corrupt bureaucrats, he was compelled to express what is superficial, but could not reveal his deeper feelings.

Autorenporträt
Zheng Banqiao (1693-1765), formerly known as Zheng Xie, was both a painter and writer, known by other aliases such as Kerou and Banqiao. He hailed from Xianghua, Jiangsu Province. In his early years, he left his impoverished family to enter the ranks of imperial scholars, becoming a county magistrate in Fan and Wei Counties in Shandong Province, where his performance was outstanding. He later helped farmers win a lawsuit and handled relief work, but offended some high-ranking officials in the process and quit his official position. Both before and after serving as an official, he sold paintings in Yangzhou. He excelled at bamboo inscriptions, filling long, straight scrolls in a cursive script with sparse forms and angular style. In his calligraphies, he put seal script into regular script, creating a new form, neither ancient nor modern, which he called "six-and-a-half script." He was one of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou.
