The Colors of Mount Taihang

ryan

上网以后,我找到一张漂亮的中国画。这张画叫“太行山色”。清朝的时候,中国有很多有名的画家。很多画家常常画“山水”画。拿王翬来说吧,他常常画很多大山,很多漂亮的河。在一六六九年,王翬画了“太行山色”。

太行山在山西省,河南省和河北省交界处。对我来说,这张画很有意思,画上有很多山。这张画很长,差不多一张桌子的那么长。 这些山又大又险峻。看得出来,爬这些山很危险。但是没想到在这座山和那座山之间有一个小村。虽然山看起来又大又危险,但小村又安全又安静。

这是为什么我很喜欢这张王翬的画。这张画给我留下很深的印象。除了危险与安全以外,我们的生活还有很多对立面。比如,安静与吵,容易与困难。要是今天你难过,明天你可能很高兴。我觉得王翬的画有这种理念。

 

After surfing the Internet, I found a beautiful Chinese painting. This painting is called “The Colors of Mount Taihang.” During the Qing Dynasty, China had many famous painters. Many painters often painted “Mountain Water” paintings. Take Wang Hui for example, he often painted many large mountains, many beautiful rivers. In 1669, Wang Hui painted “The Colors of Mount Taihang.”

The Taihang Mountains are in the Shanxi, Henan and Hebei provinces. As far as I’m concerned, this painting is very interesting, having many mountains. This painting is very long, about as long as a table. Many of the mountains are large and steep. You can see that climbing the mountains would be very dangerous. But, I wouldn’t expect to see between the mountains a small village. Although it looks like the mountains are large and steep, the village looks quiet and peaceful.

This is why I like this painting by Wang Hui so much. This painting gave a very deep impression on me. In addition to danger and peace, there are many opposites in our lives. For example quiet and loudness, ease and difficulty. If today you are sad, tomorrow you may be happy. I think that Wang Hui understood this.

soomin这幅精美的古典中国画是沈恒基的山水画。在这幅画上,我看到一只小船在水上漂浮着,小船上有两个人。河的后面有山,很高,很安详。在河的另一面有山崖,山崖上有一棵松树。这幅画使用的主色是绿色,灰色,棕色,都是自然的颜色。

沈恒基的诗歌和画在吴忠市很有名,被称为“吴门画派的先驱”。我选沈恒基的这幅画,因为我喜欢这幅画有安宁和悠闲的气氛。我觉得画家重视自然和人们的和谐。我觉得我和很多现代人忘记了自然的美丽,但是这幅古典中国画让我希望在自然里体验自由。我可以想象:在宽河上只有我一个人,我周围有很深的河水,很多树,青山。我只能听到风的声音。薄薄的雾气使我的担心和压力消逝了。

This beautiful piece of classical Chinese landscape painting is by Shen Hengji. In this painting, I see a small boat floating in the water, with two people on the boat. Behind the river are mountains, which are very high and very detailed. On the other side of the river there is a cliff, and on the cliff is a pine tree. The primary colors used in this painting are green, gray, and brown, which are all colors of nature.

Shen Hengji’s poetry and paintings gained fame in Wuzhong City, and thus, he came to be   acknowledged as “the pioneer of Wu School”. I chose this picture by Shen Hengji because I like the   peaceful and relaxed atmosphere of this picture. I feel that the painter, Shen, places great importance on the harmony between nature and human. I think many modern people, including myself, frequently forget the beauty of nature, but this piece of classical Chinese painting makes me want to experience the freedom in nature. I can imagine: I am the only one on the wide river, and surrounding me are the deep water, many trees, and green mountains. All I can hear is the sound of the wind. My worries and stress disappears within the thin mist.

千里江山

我选择了叫《千里河山》的绘画。这幅画是最有名的古典中国画之一。这幅画很长, 有36英尺长。这幅画描绘了山河的雄伟景色,特别是山区的无数山峰。这画画也描绘了在河旁边的村庄和山间高崖的飞瀑。并且这幅画也描绘了天空中的风和通向庙宇的路。画家在画里用了蓝、绿和金色。

王希孟是宋代最有名的中国画家之一。在1113年他画千里河山的时候,他才十八岁。我选择《千里河山》是因为王希孟的画给我留下的印象最深。我喜欢他在画里描绘的美丽风景。如果我在地方的绘画,我想拍很多照片。

乍一看,这幅画只是描绘中国的美丽景观。王希孟把中国画成一个繁荣和强大的国家。他使用的黄金色突出了财富和忠诚。但是考虑到画的历史背景时,这幅画实际上是一个为中国昔日的荣耀哀悼的哀歌。所以,王希孟的画同时给了我美丽和哀叹的感觉。

 

I chose the painting called “A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains.” The painting is the most famous classical Chinese painting. The painting is very long. It is 36 feet long. The painting depicts the majestic views of mountains and rivers, especially the villages on the side of the river and the mountain cliff waterfalls. The painting also depicts the wind in the sky and pathway leading to the temple. The painter uses blue, green, golden colors.

Wang Ximeng is one of the most famous Chinese painters in Song Dynasty. In 1113, he painted thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, when he was eighteen years old. I chose “A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains” because Wang Ximeng’s paintings left me with the deepest impression. I love beautiful scenery that he depicted in the painting. If I am at the place in the painting, I would like to take many pictures.

At first glance, the painting just depicts beautiful landscapes of China. Wang Ximeng depicts China as a prosperous and powerful country. His use of gold color emphasizes wealth and royalty. However, taking into account the historical background of the painting, the painting is actually a lament former glory of China. Therefore, Wang Ximeng’s painting gave me the feeling of both beauty and lament.

jo这幅画是溪山清遠。这幅画给我很深的印象。我觉得西洋的艺术和东洋的艺术非常不同,画的纸和颜料也不同。 可是我觉得很重要的差异是东洋和西洋的环境。中国的山水画像中国的环境。我看很多中国风景的照片。 我觉得这个画很像中国美丽的风景。

这幅绘画是夏珪的画。 他是宋朝的人。大家都不知道关于他的人生, 可是他是很有名的画家。 这个绘画是黑白画。画面有山又有水。画有人们的生活。你可以看到古建筑和船。在石头山有树林。画的笔触很纤细。看起来,这幅画里的人们生活很安静。

这幅画有很多空的空间。 我觉得对东洋画来说,空间之美很重要。 美国的山水没有很多空间。很多人也喜欢五颜六色的画。 我觉得这幅画更美丽,因为画家用黑色和白色。他画深度在画面里,现代的画家也用这样的方法。我觉得他太棒了。如果我去画面的地方, 我会爬山和拍很多照片。

This painting is called the “Pure and Remote View of Streams and Mountains’. It left a deep impression on me. I think that Western and Eastern art is very different. The paper and pigments are very different. However, I think the biggest difference is in the environment of the East and the West. China’s landscape paintings resemble its environment. I have seen many pictures of China’s landscape. I think the painting looks a lot like China’s beautiful landscape.

The painting is by a painter named Xia Gui. He is from the Song Dynasty. No one knows much about his life, but he is a very famous painter. The painting is in black and white. In the picture, there are mountains and water. It also has the life of the people. You can see the old architecture and ships. The stone mountains have forests. The brush strokes of the painting are very delicate. You can tell from the painting that the lives of the people are very peaceful.

The painting has a lot of empty space in it. I think for Eastern paintings, the art of space is very important. America’s landscape paintings do not leave a lot of space. Many people like colorful paintings. I think that the painting is even more beautiful because the painter used blacks and whites. He depicted depth in the picture with techniques that artists today also use. I think that he is really awesome.
