This sentence comes from Zheng Banqiao's couplet: "Why is the room elegant? Not many flowers. "

Major achievements:
Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy, which is a mixture of official script and running script, calls itself "six and a half books" and is called "Banqiao Book". Most of his paintings are bluegrass and bamboo stones, and Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy art with bluegrass and bamboo as its soul is unique in the history of China's calligraphy.
"Six and a half minutes" is a ridiculous title given by Zheng Banqiao for his original calligraphy. There is a kind of "eight-point script" with more strokes in official script, that is, the so-called "six-thirty", which refers to official script in general, but is mixed with other regular scripts such as Kai, Xing, Zhuan and Cao.
The composition of Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy works is also very distinctive. He can insert size, length, Fiona Fang, size and density, such as "paving the road with stones", which contains rules in vertical placement. It seems to follow the flow of the pen, but the holistic view produces a sense of rhythm of jumping and agility. For example, it was written in the twenty-seventh year of Qianlong, and he was seventy years old, which was his masterpiece in his later years.
