千里江山图
《千里江山图》是我最喜欢的一幅画。 这幅画风景优美，里面除了有不同颜色的山林以外，还有许许多多的别的东西，比如说很小的船、很多的人，还有一些房子等等。 跟别的有名的中国画比较，这幅画不是用五颜六色的颜色来画山水的风景，而是选用了颜色特别深的墨色、蓝色、淡绿色和深黄色来想象大自然的景色。
《千里江山图》的画家是北宋的王希孟。 在北宋的时候，王希孟是最有名的风景画家之一。 他在the Imperial Painting Academy学习怎么画专业的风景画，而且， 徽宗皇帝亲自教他学习画画。 这幅画是王希孟十八岁的时候画的。
我选这幅画的原因是因为这幅画的颜色给我留下了很深的印象。我不但喜欢这幅画的颜色，而且也喜欢这幅画的结构。要是我来画这幅画的话儿，我会只画一些山，然后在山的前面，我会再画一些水。可是，王希孟 画这幅画的时候，他先画了很多山，而且除了在山的前面画了很多水以外，在山的后面也画了很多的水和许多船，人和房子等等。 这样，这些山看起来就好像在水的中间，很好地表现了山水风景和人们之间的互相平衡的意境。这幅画让我想起来，在我画画的时候，我也应该多用一些想象在里面。 这幅画也让我对中国画有更多的兴趣。
A Thousand Li of River and Mountains
“A Thousand Li of River and Mountains” is one of my favorite paintings. This painting not only has different colored mountains, but also but also many other things, such as a small boat, many people, some houses, and so on. Compared to other famous Chinese paintings, this painting does not have colorful mountains and water in the landscape, but uses ink colors of blue, light green, and deep yellow to portray nature.
“A Thousand Li of River and Mountains” was painted by Wang Ximeng, Northern Song Dynasty. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Ximeng was a very famous landscape painter. He studied painting landscapes at the Imperial Painting Academy, where he was taught personally by Emperor Huizong. Wang Ximeng painted this painting when he was 18 years old.
I chose this painting because the colors of the painting left a deep impression on me. I not only like the colors used, but also like the structure of the painting. If I had to paint this painting, I would only have some water in front of the mountains. Wang Ximeng’s painting has many mountains, and he paints water not only in front of them, but also behind with boats, people, houses, and so on. Thus, the mountains look as if they are in the middle of the water, and there is a very good representation of the mutual balance between the landscape and the people. This picture makes me think, when painting, I should also use some more imagination. This painting also makes me more interested in Chinese paintings.
