Work Appreciation:
竹，生来自然美。自古以来，竹因其正直、虚心、有节的品格和精神而被人民尊为君子，受到文人雅士的推崇和喜爱。东晋王徽之曾感喟：“岂可一日无此君？”苏轼亦有诗云：“宁可食无肉，不可居无竹。”可见竹在古人心目中的地位，几乎到了无以复加的境地。
Bamboo, born of natural beauty.Since ancient times, bamboo because of its integrity, modesty, temperance character and spirit and the people respected as a gentleman, by the literati and elegant scholar's respect and love.Wang Hui Zhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty once sighed: "Can't there be no such gentleman for a day?"Su Shi also has a poem: "would rather eat meat, not live without bamboo."It can be seen that the status of bamboo in the minds of the ancients, almost to the point of no return.
今天，邱希高虽已届耄耋之年，但画竹的初心仍在。他说：要在这个最美好的时代，坚持把竹子画下去，努力让“新竹高于旧竹枝”，继续让竹子的正直、虚心、有节和积极向上的正能量在神州大地传播、弘扬。
Today, although Qiu Xigao has reached the age of eighty or ninety, but the original heart of bamboo painting is still there.He said: in this most beautiful era, we should insist on painting bamboo, and strive to make the "new bamboo higher than the old bamboo branches", and continue to let the bamboo's integrity, modesty, temperance and positive energy spread and carry forward in the land of China.
