halim这张漂亮的画是张泽端的“清明上河图”，英文标题是“Along the River During the Qingming Festival”. 这张广角的画很有名，也很大。张泽端其他的‘山水’画也都很有名。我觉得这张画很有意思，因为你可以看开封的风景，和开封人过清明节的时候的喜庆气氛。我最喜欢这张画的河和树木的颜色。颜色不太明也不太黑。照片还有中国特色的家和建筑。虽然我很喜欢这张画，如果我是画家，我希望重画这些人们。我希望加入人们的脸，这样就可以看看人们的过清明节的时候高兴的表情！我也希望加很多动物，比如狗、牛和马。但是我觉得这张已经很漂亮，开封的风景和环境很美。很多人说说，这张画是中国的蒙娜丽莎。两张画都很有名，可是我更喜欢张泽端的画。现在这张画是在北京的博物馆。我很希望我将来可以去看这张画！

 

This beautiful painting is Zhang Ze Duan’s “清明上河图“ or the English title is “Along the River During the Qingming Festival.” This panorama painting is very famous, and very big. Other ‘mountain-water’ paintings of Zhang Zeduan are also famous. I think this painting is interesting because you can see Kaifeng’s scenery, and Kaifeng people’s festive atmosphere when celebrating Qingming Festival. I like the color of the river and the trees most. The colors are not too bright, not too dark. The painting also has houses and architecture of Chinese characteristics. Although I really like this painting, if I were a painter, I would change the people in this painting. I want to add people’s faces, so you can see the happy faces of people celebrating Qingming Festival! I also want to add many animals, such as dogs, cows, and horses. But I think this picture is already very beautiful, and Kaifeng’s scenery and environment is very beautiful. Many people say this painting is China’s “Mona Lisa”. Both picture are famous and renowned, but I prefer Zhang Zeduan’s painting. Currently, this picture is in a museum in Beijing. I hope in the future I can go see this painting!

王翚  (1632­1717)  是中国山水的画家。明代后期和清代早期，王翚画了很多画。”The Beauty  of Green Mountains and Rivers” 是一个王翚著名的山水画。王翚1679 年创作了这幅画，今天在上海博物馆展出。”The Beauty  of Green Mountains and Rivers” 描绘了黄山和新安。黄山自然的风景很美，有很多颜色很深的石头。黄山的旁边是新安。有时候黄山和新安景色看起来是青山绿水,所以王翚的画表现了绿山绿水。

这幅画的背景是森林和山脉，有幽的寺庙，看起来华灯初上。一个男子回寺庙区，也许是王翚。如果我在这里，我想沿着上山的路走去寺庙。我想欣赏风景和结识这神秘人物。然后，我们一起谈哲学和宗教。我喜欢这幅画因为它结构美观。我觉得王翚的技巧高得不得了。清代以来，王翚是闻名画家，他的画, “The Beauty of Green Mountains and Rivers,”令人难忘。

Wang Hui (1632­1717) was a Chinese landscape painter. During the late Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty, Wang Hui created many  paintings.  “The Beauty of Green Mountains and Rivers” is one of Wang Hui’s famous paintings. This painting was completed in 1679 AD and today is displayed at the Shanghai Museum. “The Beauty of Green Mountains and Rivers”  is  a  depiction  of Huangshan and Xin’an River. The natural landscape of Huangshan is beautiful and there are many deep colored rocks.  Beside Huangshan is the Xin’an River. Sometimes, Huangshan and Xin’an seem to appear as green mountains and a green river. As a result, Wang Hui’s painting manifests green mountains and a green river.

The background of this painting shows the woods and mountain ranges. There is a hidden temple, and it appears to be early evening. A man returns to the temple­­perhaps it is Wang Hui. If I was there, I would like to walk along the path up the mountain to the temple. I would like to admire the scenery and meet this mysterious person. Afterwards, we will discuss philosophy and religion. I like this painting because of its beauty. I think Wang Hui’s skill is extremely high. Since the Qing Dynasty, Wang Hui was a renowned painter and his painting, “The Beauty of Green Mountains and Rivers,” is not easy to forget.

第十五课：国画

alexana

我选的绘画是白雲紅樹圖，画家叫藍瑛。这张图是五颜六色的，我觉得它很漂亮。画家画的山有蓝色的、有绿色的。他画的树有红色的、有白色的。这张画画家画得很长。画面的石下角有一个在桥上看风景的人。

藍瑛是在杭州出生，长大的。他是1585年出生的，1664年去世的。藍瑛生在明朝。他有一些笔名，比如，西湖外史。他平常喜欢画风景人物花木和禽鸟。我喜欢它的画面，因为藍瑛在他名作中云用了很多鲜亮的颜色。看得出来没有很多的国画画家用鲜亮的颜色创作。我觉得他的画又别致又特别。

我觉得藍瑛的画面会使我感到很高兴。藍瑛有很多灵感的源泉。他在浙派和吴门画派学习黃公望沈周的全集。这个画家的全集很独特，因为他有很多不同的画派的代表作。要是我在画面里，我会有轻松的感觉。

My chosen painting is White Cloud Mangroves by Lan Ying.  This painting is multicolored and I think it is very beautiful.  The artist’s mountains are blue and green.  His trees are red and white.  This artist made his painting quite long.  At the bottom of the work is a man on a bridge overlooking the scenery.

Lan Ying was born and raised in Hangzhou.  He was born in 1585 and died in 1664.  Lan Ying lived in Mingchao.  He had some aliases, for example, Xihu Waishi.  Normally, he liked to paint scenery, people, flowers, and birds.  I like his paintings because he used many bright colors on his clouds.  It seems that there were not many artists used many colors in their creations.  I think this makes him special and unique.

I think that Lan Ying’s paintings make me feel very happy.  Lan Ying had many sources of inspiration.  He studied the complete works of Huang Gongwang in the Shen Zhou and Wu Schools. This artist’s complete works are unique because he painted many masterpieces. If were to be in the picture, I would have a relaxed attitude.

Wang Xizhi Watching Geese, Yuan dynasty (1271–1368), ca. 1295 by Qian Xuan

naya

这幅画上是一个小棚屋，小棚屋的前面是一条河，在河里游来游去是两只纯白色的鹅。在小棚里站着一个师傅和一个学生。他们的后边有一个非常高大的树，树上的叶子除了有青绿色的，还有蓝色的。我觉得这些颜色组合真奇怪。画家在整个环境上大半用了淡淡的颜色, 令人看起来心里感觉得特别和平。

画家的名字是钱选，他是个山水画家，所以他经常画自然景物 。我选了这幅画，因为我觉得这幅画鼓舞人心，而且树上的叶子画得很抽象，十分特别。

在幅画上，那个师傅是王羲之，一位有名的书法家。这里的环境很安静，王羲之在欣赏鹅游泳的形状和动作。他的学生坐着，跟他一起看美丽的景色。有些树有蓝色的叶子，因为这幅画上的的世界是在他们心里假想的，不是现实。这是因为现实不能又漂亮又安静。我想爬上这些树木，因为看起来很好玩。如果我在那里，能欣赏这个环境我会高兴极了。

This painting depicts a small hut, in front of the hut there is a river. In the river there are two geese swimming around. There is also a teacher and a student inside the hut. Behind them, there is a very large tree and tall tree. The trees contain not only green leaves, but also blue leaves. I think the combination of these colors is strange. In the painting, the artist uses mainly pale colors, which makes the painting look very peaceful.

The artist’s name is Qian Yuan, he is a landscape painter, and therefore he likes to paint natural objects. I chose this painting because it is very inspiring. Also, the tree leaves are abstract, which is very unique.

In the painting, the teacher’s name is Wang XiZhi, a famous calligraphy painter. The environment surrounding him is very quiet, but he can still admire the movements of the geese. His student sits with him and together and looks upon the beautiful environment. Some trees have blue leaves; this is because the painting depicts an imagination, not reality. In reality, this level of serenity and beauty can never be found. I would like to climb that tree, because it looks very fun. If I could be in this environment, I would be so happy.

郭熙的jee young moon早春图

       郭熙是一位有名的中国画家。他在北宋的时候在河南省出生。 他受到了良好的教育，发展了非常纤秀的画风。他给后来的画家留下了很深的影响。 他一般画山水风景，早春图是郭熙的代表作。现在早春图保留在台北故宫博物馆里。

       早春图是水墨画，所以没有颜色。图上有山有水。石山占大多的画面，又高又神秘。山高得云雾濛濛，云雾给人带来神秘感。石山有圆圆的形态，点缀着有很奇怪样子的树。因为是早春，所以弯弯曲曲的树不是那么青葱。图的下边有水。水的右边有一个人在舟上划桨，左边有两个人等着这艘舟。图前边的笔端很深，后边的很浅，所以图很好地表现了远近。

       我选了这张画，因为这张画叫早春图，四季中先是早春。而且这张画又有名又美。如果我在图里，我想要在舟上跟划桨的人一起观赏美丽的风景。

 Guo Xi’s Early Spring

Guo Xi is a famous Chinese painter. He was born in Henan Province during the Northern Song Dynasty time. He received a good education, and developed a very delicate style. He greatly influenced future artists. He generally painted scenery with mountains and water, and Guo Xi’s Early Spring is his masterpiece. Early Spring is now kept in the National Palace Museum in Taipei.

Early Spring is a water and ink painting, so it is colorless. There are mountains and water on the map. Rock mountain, tall and mysterious, covers most of the area. Mountains are high that they are misty with clouds, clouds and mist give mysterious impression. Rock mountain has a round shape, and strange looking trees are here and there. Because it is early spring, the crooked trees are neither so scattered nor so lush. Lower part of the painting is water. On the right side is a man paddling water on the boat, on the left side are two people waiting for the boat. Brushwork is vey deep in the front, and very shallow in the back, so the painting expresses the distance very well.

I chose this painting because this painting called Early Spring, and nowadays it is early spring. Also, this painting is famous and beautiful. If I was inside the painting, I would praise the beautiful scenery on the boat with the person rowing the boat.
