Wen Tong was a famous for his ink bamboo pantings. He was one of the paragons of "scholar's painting" , which idealised spontaneity and painting without financial reward.
He could hold two brushes in one hand and paint two different distanced bamboos simultaneously. He did not need to see the bamboo while he painted them because he had seen a lot of them. One Chinese idiom from him goes "there are whole bamboos in his heart" , meaning that one has a well-thought-out plan in his mind.
