葛稚川移居

李昇洙 (SeungSoo Lee)

 这幅画叫《葛稚川移居图》是元代画家王蒙平生杰作。纵139.5厘米、横58厘米,这副画现藏在北京故宫博物院。《葛稚川移居图》里有好几座石头山,而且山势都非常陡峻。这些山上坐着蓝色和红色的小树长满着漂亮的树叶。山上还有几条小瀑布,这些瀑布在山下成为一条安静的小河。山下还能看到过河的人和家畜。画大半是褐色的,可是蓝红的树使这幅画显得很有意思。

1308年,《葛稚川移居图》的画家,王蒙出生在浙江。他是宋朝名家涿郡赵氏的后裔,而且是元代最有名的四个画家之一,所以很多学者认为他对中国山水画法有很深的影响。现在他的画大半存在 北京故宫博物院和上海博物馆。

我非常喜欢这幅画,因为它又美丽又有活力。这幅画里我最喜欢的是蓝色的树叶。因为我从来没见过蓝色的树叶,所以我觉得这有一点奇怪,可是同时这很吸引我。要是我在画里,我希望坐在河边,脚放在河里,听瀑布的声音。我还希望问过河的人们他们打算去哪儿。如果我是这幅画的画家,我愿意画一个金色的太阳。因为我觉得这样可以让这幅画显得暖和一点。

This painting, Ge Zhichuan Relocating, is a masterpiece of a famous Yuan Dynasty artist, Wang Meng. Measured 139.5 by 58 meters, the painting is currently displayed in the Palace Museum in Beijing, China. Numerous steep stone mountains can be found in the painting and on these mountains are beautifully blossomed red and blue trees. There are also several waterfalls, which at the bottom of the mountain form a small and tranquil river. You can also find people crossing the river at the bottom of the mountain. The painting is generally brown, but the colorful trees make this painting interesting.

In 1308, Wang Meng was born in Zhe Jiang. He was a maternal grandson of Zhao Mengfu, thus making him a descendant of the Song Dynasty‘s royal bloodline, the House of Zhao. Wang Meng is considered to be one of the four great masters of the Yuan Dynasty, thus many scholars consider him to have influenced the works of more recent artists. Most of Wang Meng’s paintings are now displayed in Palace Museum and Shanghai Museum.

I really like this painting because of its depiction of mesmerizing and lively landscape. I find the blue trees the most intriguing because I’ve never seen trees in that color. If I were to be in this painting, I want to sit at the side of this river with my feet in it and listen to the waterfall crash into the river. I also want to ask the people crossing the river where they are headed to. If I were the painter, I would paint a sun because it would help make the overall atmosphere feel warmer.
