After entering the Song Dynasty, bamboo painting became popular, and the "Huzhou Bamboo School" represented by Wentong and Su Shi attracted much attention. In the Yuan Dynasty, Ke Jiusi, Ni Zan, and others were masters of bamboo painting at that time. Ming painters Song Ke and Xia Chang were good at painting ink bamboo and were famous all over the world. Zhu Kui, Zheng Xie, and others, based on inheriting the traditional techniques of bamboo painting, constantly innovated and formed a unique style of bamboo painting, which had a profound impact on modern painting. Driven by many celebrities, bamboo culture shows the artistic temperament of rising abruptly based on accumulated strength.

bamboo goes deep into astronomy, farming, salt making, entertainment, sculpture, and other fields, and it advances with the development of civilization. Su Shi, Wenhao of the Northern Song Dynasty, lamented: & nbsp; "it is impossible to live without bamboo shingles, carrying bamboo rafts, books with bamboo paper, wearing bamboo crowns, clothing with bamboo skins, crawler's bamboo shoes, eaters' bamboo shoots, and incinerators' bamboo salaries." shows that bamboo is widely used and widely used.

The music of silk and bamboo has become one of the representatives of elegant music.

Bamboo also promotes the inheritance of culture. After Qin Shihuang unified China, he read 120 jin of bamboo slips every day. In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, bamboo slips evolved into bamboo paper, which was very popular. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the quality of bamboo paper was greatly improved, which led to the end of the popular rattan paper. Li Rihua, a prose writer of the Ming Dynasty, revealed in "two strokes of Libyan Zhai": "there are three top grades of bamboo paper: Yao Huang, bachelor degree, and Shao Gong."

Bamboo can not only record but also write. The brush is a unique writing tool in China. Cai Yong, a famous scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty, said in the Fu of the Eastern Han Dynasty: "cut the bamboo as a tube and add the entanglement of lacquer silk." Zhang Hua, a famous minister of the Western Jin Dynasty, has an account of "Shun made brushes" in his Natural History, which greatly advances the use of brushes. The brush varies in thickness and length, regardless of whether the pen is made of sheep, wolf, or mouse, and the penholder of bamboo remains the same. The unique use of bamboo has been affirmed and appreciated by society.

"Seven people often gather under the bamboo forest and enjoy it wantonly, so the world is called the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest". Their noble sentiments had a great impact on later generations and became the object revered by later literati.

during the Kaiyuan reign of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai and Kong Chaofu, Han Zun, Pei Zheng, Zhang Shuming, and Tao Yi followed the example of the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" and lived in seclusion in the bamboo brook at the foot of Culai Mountain in Tai'an mansion. Li Bai misses the days of seclusion in Zhuxi with the poem "return in the dream last night, cloud and bamboo brook moon".
