Picasso once said to the visiting Zhang Daqian that you have a great painter in China named Qi Baishi.
Qi Baishi's rat cat painting is simple in composition, a black mouse, a white cat, the tail is black, an oil lamp, and so on, but it is full of fun.

The owner of the house, who is accustomed to seeing this scene of secular life, suddenly draws the scene of life in front of him, and does not forget to humorously write a dozen oil poems to add to his fun:
Last night, I lit the lamp in front of bed early, and I didn't fall asleep when I undressed. The cold door only hits a dollar of oil, how can it feed the rats? When a cat came quietly, it had run out of oil.
Pu Xuezhai inscribed "Pen Fun" at the beginning of the painting.
Shen Yinmo's couplet "Candle fire is as bright as day, don't worry about people seeing it is stealing", the meaning of the word is pun. Day, according to the meaning of the word can also be interpreted as self-painting, a word double solution, interesting.
