Emotions reflect the feelings of the author. Emotions are reflected in the paintings, and the atmosphere is atmospheric and profound; Small emotions are narrow and limited. Everyone's big strokes, big styles, small strokes, small styles, this is not forced. Cui Lao is a person of high moral character, which is vividly expressed by his speech and works, "Calligraphy and painting have a price, and the difference between high and low is 108,000." Small paintings are used to exchange firewood and rice, and large paintings are dedicated to the country. This is a true portrayal of Cui Lao's character. He has always shared the fate with the country and the nation, breathing with the times, the country has difficulties to touch his heart, the flood in the south, the earthquake in the grave river, he is restless in his sleep, generous donations and paintings, some do not leave his name; the state-owned events, he is overjoyed, with the pen in his hand to write pride, the Beijing Olympic Games, the seven flying gods, the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he has left fine works of song and ink dance. Cui Lao's big writing is due to emotion, there is no flowing brushstrokes and handsome pictures, but there is a brilliant blandness and implication, his pen is hairy, with color as ink, the fiction is real, the force penetrates the back of the paper; he uses poetry into painting, poetry into speech, and pursues unlimited artistic conception on limited pictures.
