介绍（中）	郑燮于1736年通过公务员考试，被任命为华北知县。郑同情当时处于饥饿痛苦中的人们的困境，采取了极端措施来改善他们的处境，但遭到了该地区富裕公民的抵制。他对官僚道德的幻灭、健康状况的恶化以及丑闻缠身的名声迫使郑提前退休。他定居在扬州，当时扬州是一个繁荣的支持艺术家的社区，在那里他被称为八怪之一这幅不朽的四幅油画描绘了一片生长在山坡上的竹林。浅的图像空间是由茎的位置来定义的，茎从构图的底部突出到视野中，像上坡一样向上爬，并延伸到画面的顶部之外。它的进一步定义是戏剧性地使用分级墨水冲洗——从乌黑到浅灰色——这表明了薄雾的面纱效果。艺术家为这幅画题写了两次：右上角有标题和日期，左下角有他的签名和印章。
介绍（英）	Zheng Xie passed the civil-service examination in 1736 and was appointed as magistrate in north China. Sympathetic with the plight of the people then in the throes of starvation, Zheng enforced extreme measures to improve their situation that met with resistance from the wealthier citizens in the area. His disillusionment with bureaucratic ethics, his disintegrating health, and his reputation tainted by scandal forced Zheng into early retirement. He settled in Yangzhou, then a prosperous community supportive of artists, where he became known as one of the Eight Eccentrics. This monumental four-panel painting depicts a grove of bamboo growing on a mountainside. The shallow pictorial space is defined by the placement of the stalks, which jut into view from the bottom of the composition, climb up the paper as if ascending a slope, and extend well beyond the top of the picture. It is further defined by the dramatic use of graded ink washes—from jet black to pale gray—that suggest the veiling effects of a dense mist. The artist inscribed the painting twice: in the upper right, with a title and date, and at the lower left, with his signature and seals.
