If you carefully appreciate Mr. Zhou Xiang's works, you will find that he is also an artist. His works not only have stories, but are also works of art, which are pleasing to the eye. The pictures cleverly incorporate Chinese elements, such as the martial arts scenes of Peking Opera, the scenery on the title page, and the association of vegetable gardens in the suburbs of Bianjing. His painting style inherits the expressive and powerful lines of Xu Wei and Qi Baishi. Readers not only feel the visual effects, but also the softness and hardness of touch, the noise and quietness of hearing, and even the body experiences the advancement, retreat, and urgency of each character.
The picture book shows how a garden of vegetables matures into a battle and a great drama, attracting both children and adults, and making people laugh. In particular, the excitement during the appearance and the beginning of the war is unforgettable: the refined radish, green vegetables, peppers, eggplants, lotus roots and other vegetables, fighting head-to-head, ping-ping-pong-pong, indiscriminately, how many days did the vegetables in the garden last? They were all green before, but after a big battle, the radishes turned red and green, the peppers turned red, and the eggplants turned purple... If you look at the beginning and the end together, you will find the changes in the color of the vegetables and their maturity. This picture book is fun and interesting, reflecting children's curiosity. Since it is a nursery rhyme, read out the rhythm as you read it.
A garden of green vegetables was noisy.
The old farmer was so startled that he threw his hoe, and the donkey was so startled that he ran away
The pond water was so startled that the water splashed everywhere, and the fish and shrimp were so startled that they moved upward. Jump
The turtle was so startled that he stretched out his head, and the frog was so startled that he croaked
A garden of vegetables was noisy.
