Let the two-part allegorical saying "live"
"Buck your teeth and eat watermelon — — All rules are Tao ","The blind sell cloth — — Nonsense "and" the knife played in the blacksmith — — Not a place "… … These two-part allegorical sayings come alive in the pen of Dian’s mother-in-law, which are antique and full of meaning.

These interesting ink and wash paintings have made Dian’s mother-in-law angry. Many fans want to buy her paintings. However, these paintings are not for sale.

Creative inspiration
Inspiration inspired by mother-in-law chatting
Although Dian’s mother-in-law has always packaged herself as an old woman, in fact, she is just a 30-year-old Chengdu sister whose real name is Chen Dian. Unlike her peers who like to visit Taikooli, she prefers to send Xianqiao and visit the flea market. These slightly old-fashioned lifestyles are inseparable from her previous life experiences with her grandmother. When the old people are together, they always like to "talk", and she has become a loyal listener.
The parents in the east are short in the west, and several old ladies huddled together, making fun of a few words with two-part allegorical sayings from time to time, which made everyone laugh. "Everyone’s shoulders are shaking in a ball." Chen Dian will also pick a few words silently and show them off in front of his friends.

Chen Dian is a left-handed, holding a brush, dipping it in paint, sketching out the characters on the rice paper with a touch of watercolor, which makes the market come to life. The kind grandmother, naughty children and shrewd vendors in the painting are all exaggerated, and their task is to "dictate" two-part allegorical sayings.
Life experience in Chengdu has become an inexhaustible material bank, while life in the suburbs and countryside has given ink painting some local flavor. In her paintings, pigs are associated with trumpets, and the images of these pigs come from the experience of raising pigs in my hometown when I was a child. According to her introduction, she has been to a farm outside the office, and she will go back to help after the summer vacation. It is her task to raise these hundreds of pigs, and pigs have become her favorite image.

"It is expected that some books will be selected next year." She said that she didn’t like to take the gallery route and speculate on high prices, so she was collected by Daikin alone. She prefers to pass on these paintings in the form of printing, so that young people can understand the folk culture in this relaxed way. Chengdu Business Daily reporter Huan Xiaohuai
