“Early Spring”

山水画是中国画的一个特色分支。其中一个很有名的山水画家是郭熙。他跟一些别的画家使山水画发展起来。他最有名的画可能是“早春图”（“Early Spring”）。

郭熙出生于1020年，1090年去世。他在宋代生活在河南省。他不但是一个很棒，很有名的画家，而且还是一个作家和老师。他的方法讲究技能。他是用透视的首批艺术家之一。同一时间在欧洲，画家还不能做如此深度的感知。他的画笔错综复杂，影响了未来的画家。

“早春图”画了早春的树，山，和水。这张画很漂亮，但是因为时间久远，所以现在有点儿看得不太清楚。他刚画“早春图”的时候，这张画儿应该是很漂亮的。

我觉得他画这个，是因为早春是一个美丽变化的时候。如果我在那个地方我想游泳和爬山。我选了这张画，因为早春是我最喜欢的时候。

Landscape Painting is a characteristic branch of Chinese painting. One of the most famous Chinese landscape painters is Guo Xi. He made landscape painting famous (with others) but he also had other skills. His most famous work may be “Early Spring” (“Early Spring”). Guo Xi was born in 1020 and died in 1090. He lived in Henan Province during the Song Dynasty.

He was not only a great, well-known painter, but also a writer and teacher – his methods and skills were unique. He was one of the first artists to use perspective. At the same time in Europe, artists had not developed perception, and could not illustrate depth. His complex brushstrokes were a development for art.

Early Spring illustrates the early spring trees, mountains, and water. The work is beautiful, but it’s also really old, so now it’s a little unclear.

I think he painted this to illustrate the beautiful early spring time change. If I were in the place he painted, I would like to swim and hike. I chose this painting because early spring is my favorite time of the year.
