Remarks:
This is my 799th painting since 2003and the 439th Chinese Xieyi Painting, the 194th assignment that I have completed in Chinese National Academy of Arts .
This is the 18th painting that I painted for the series stories and my long scroll銆婁簩鍗佸洓瀛濄€�: Er Shi Si Xiao Tu -- The Twenty-Four Dutiful Children .
This story names 闄嗙哗鎬€姗橀仐浜�: Lu Ji Carried the Oranges for His Mother.
Lu Ji was from Wu County (in today鈥檚 Suzhou), lived in the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220). When he was 6 years old, he followed his father to visit Yuan Shu who was a general in Jiujiang ( in Today鈥檚 Jiangxi Province), Yuan Shu treated them with oranges, Lu Ji carried two oranges into his bosom. When he would go back with making a profound curtsey, the two oranges slid down the floor. Yuan Shu laughed at him: You came to my home to see me, would you still carry the host鈥檚 oranges? Lu Ji answered: My mother enjoyed eating orange, I wanted to carry them and to send her to taste.
Yuan Shao was quite surprised when he found that Luji had known how to filial to his mother at so young age.
