Travelers Among Mountains and Streams (谿山行旅)

这张山水画是中国很有名的画。中国人叫这张画“溪山行旅”。“溪山行旅”是宋朝的。 他叫范宽。这张山水画没有很多颜色。范宽只用黑色和红色。他写的字都是红色的。他画的东西都是黑色的。这张画里有高高的山，长长的河水，大大的石头和非常漂亮的树。

范宽是在花园出生的。今天花园是山西里的西安市。人们说，范宽的性格很坦荡和非常简单。今天人们不知道他的性格怎么样。人们只知道他的山水画很有名。

我非常喜欢这张山水画，因为这张山水画又古老又漂亮。另外，除了有很美丽的风景以外，这张画没有很多颜色。这是说，用一，兩种的颜色也能画很漂亮的花。因为这张画有各种各样的水、山等等，所以这张画对保护环境有好处。范宽表现了环境保护重要的意思。

如果我是“溪山行旅”的画家，我要用很多明亮的颜色。比如说，我要绿绿的树、蓝蓝色河水、白白的石头。 因为我非常喜欢中国的熊猫，我也要画熊猫。画熊猫？那我得要画竹木! 因为现在我不打工，所以我不能挣钱。 可是，我长大以后拿薪水的时候，我得要买这张山水画。

This painting is known as the “Travelers Among Mountains and Streams. The artist of the painting is Fan Kuan from Song Dynasty. The painting is drawn with ink. The writings are in red. The drawings are in black. We can see mountains, trees, rocks, water stream, and water fall in the painting.

Fan Kuan is a native of Hua Yuan which is known as Yao Xian in Shan Xi province today. He was known for his magnanimous character, straightforward personality in the past. However, he is known for his landscape painting today.

I like this painting because not only it is a very old piece of art but also there is no color. In addition, it is a beautiful piece of art and it shows great care for environment.

If I was the painter, I would add some bright colors to make the painting more beautiful and vivid. In addition, I would like to add animals.　Because I like pandas very much, I would like to darw pandas. Draw pandas? Then I must draw bamboos too! If I have enough money I will certainly buy this painting.
