这张好看的画叫山路松声图,是唐寅画的。在这张画中,唐寅一般用黄色和绿色。在下面有平静的河,路过几个很高,很陡的山。左边有小瀑布,水从山坡流到河。山上也有很多树。在树的下边有一个人。看来他是一个人自己在小桥上走路。

唐寅是1470年出生的画家。小的时候,唐寅的情况有点困难,可是因为他的才能很大,所以他的地位逐渐提高了。他跟文征明变成了好朋友。不过唐寅考文官考试的时候,他被指控作弊了,就不能当行政机关者。于是他只卖了他做的画挣钱。除了画家以外,唐寅也是一个很有名的诗人。

我一看见这张画,就感觉很宁静。画里的风景不但非常美丽,而且古老地不得了。看得出来那个小河流了很长的时间。除了“松声”和小瀑布以外,一切都很安静,让我很尊敬自然。要是我在画里,我会想在树下面休息一下,想一想我看的自然怎么变成这么美丽。

This good-looking painting is called Mountain Road and Whispering Pine. It was painted by Tang Yin. In this painting, Tang Yin generally uses yellow and green colors. At the bottom there is a tranquil river which passes through several very tall, very steep mountains. On the left there is a small waterfall which flows from the mountainside to the river. On the mountain there are also many trees. Under a tree there is a man. It seems that he is walking alone on a small bridge.

Tang Yin was a painter born in 1470. When he was a child, Tang Yin’s situation was somewhat difficult, but because his talent was so great, his position gradually got better. He became friends with Wen Zhengming (another famous painter). However, when Tang Yin was taking the civil service examination, he was accused of cheating and thus was not able to be a civil service official. Therefore, he only sold his paintings to make a living. In addition to being a painter, Tang Yin was also a famous poet.

As soon as I see this painting, I feel very calm. The painting’s the scenery is not only very beautiful but also extremely ancient. One can see that the small river has been flowing for a long time. Except for the pine sounds and small waterfall, everything is quiet, which makes me revere nature. If I were in the painting, I would rest for a while under the tree and think about how the nature I am seeing became so beautiful.

看到这幅画,我马上注意到那个醒目的颜色,很有意思。如果我在这幅画里,我会爬山上去看那一栋白色和红的楼。在山上我也要照很多片; 我觉得那个风景画很漂亮 。我也觉得画家画的时候希望别人感激自然界,所以他画出这很美的画。 而且,我觉得那的风景画的画比Davinci’s Mona Lisa 更漂亮!这的画对我的印象很好。Davinci’s Mona Lisa 好是好,可是我觉得自然的风景画是更好。

Translation:

This beautiful painting has a lot of big mountains. The mountains are very colorful, and look good. Some of the tops of the mountains have white and red buildings. One mountain has a white road on it. On the side of the mountains there is a harbor. In the harbor there are lots of small boats. The sky as lots of white clouds, and also there are white birds in the sky. The tops of the mountains have lots of trees. Some of the trees are green, some of the trees are red, and some of the trees are blue.

The painting’s artist is Chen Shen Ping. In 1978, he was born in China’s Shangdong Province. He is a great artist. Among China’s younger artists, he is a good, up-and-coming artist. He graduated from Hwa Chung University. All of his paintings are beautiful and have colorful scenic landscapes. His landscape paintings merge old and new painting ideas.

Upon seeing this painting I immediately noticed the striking colors, they were very interesting. If I were inside of this painting, I could climb to the top of a mountain and go to one of the white and red buildings. Also, on the top of the mountain I could take lots of pictures; I think that the landscape is beautiful. I also think that when this artist was painting this picture he wished that other people would appreciate nature more, thus he painted this. What’s more, I believe that this landscape picture is more beautiful than Davinci’s Mona Lisa!

石涛的山水画

Geunyoung Kim (金根怜)

在历史上,石涛是中国清代早期有名的画家和诗人。石涛的石是石头的石,涛是波涛的涛。他出生在泉州。他也是一个王室成员。无论在绘画技巧上还是绘画风格上,他都有自己的改变。无论王室还是一般的人,觉得他的画很漂亮。清朝以来,人们都喜欢他的画。

我选他的画, 因为这画又特别又美丽。这张山水画来说,它别的画多空白得多可是我觉得中间的空处让这幅画更漂亮和特别。我喜欢能表现自然的美丽的画。它没用很多颜色,但是还是很美丽。

当然希望能在画中的地方。我想站在最高的山上看风景。我想去高的地方,呼吸干净的空气。我一去到这儿就想大声呼喊。

Shitao is a well-known poet and a painter during the early Qing Dynasty. Shitao’s “shi” means a stone and “tao” means waves. He was born in Quanzhou as a member of the royal family.  He created his own painting style and techniques. Regardless of their social status, they all thought his painting was magnificent. From the era of Qing Dynasty, people value his art works.

I picked this specific painting of Shitao because it is unique and beautiful. Take this specific landscape painting as an example; it has a significant portion of the picture with no drawing. However, I think the empty portion in the center gives an appreciation of the beauty of emptiness and makes the painting more unique. Also, I like paintings that can show the beauty of nature. Although it is not colorful, it still is beautiful.

Of course, I would like to be in the picture. I enjoy viewing the scenery from the top of the mountain. And I like being at the top of the mountain because I can breathe in clean air. Once I get up there, I want to shout!

蓝色的风景

怀恩 Albert Kwan

这是一幅很漂亮的画。画家在画儿里用了很多清淡的颜料。他很喜欢用蓝、绿和黄这些颜色。画儿里存在很多关于大自然的风景,有山、树,云和一条小溪在一座桥底下流过来。我很喜欢背景里的山和云。画儿里还有人在一块儿骑马。

 仇英是这幅画的画家。他出生在太仓(现在的江苏)。他在苏州跟周臣学过画。仇英喜欢用蓝和绿来画画儿。在明朝,些有钱的人家付钱叫他画花儿、花园、宗教题目和风景。因为他的画画的天赋很强,仇英被认为是明朝的四大画师之一。

这幅画儿叫 Emperor Minghuang’s Journey to Sichuan. 这幅画儿是一条明朝丝绸画的一部分。这上面画的是唐明皇和他的人马从长安逃避唐代中的安史之亂。

我觉得画家在他的画儿里很重视大自然。画中的山水很突出 , 把骑马的人们画得比较微小。对我来说,这幅画儿表现出人们在大自然中的自卑和大自然的伟大和美妙。我很喜欢在地平线画的山和云彩。(382字)

 his is a very beautiful painting.  The artist used a lot of subtle, light colors in his painting.  He seems to like using blue, green, and bronze-yellow.  The painting includes a lot of elements of nature.  It includes mountains, trees, clouds, and a small river running under a bridge.  I love the mountains and clouds in the background.  There are also men on horses appearing to travel as a group.

Qiu was a Chinese painter.  He was born in Taicang (太仓 – now Jiangsu Province).  He studied painting under Zhou Chen in Suzhou.  Ying likes to paint in the green-and-blue style.  He painted with the support of wealthy patrons, creating images of flowers, gardens, religious subjects, and landscapes in the fashions of the Ming Dynasty.  His talent allowed him to become regarded as one of the Four Great Masters of the Ming Dynasty.

The painting is titled Emperor Minghuang’s Journey to Sichuan.  This painting is just a section of a much larger Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) Chinese handscroll painting on silk.  It shows Tang Minghuang, or Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, fleeing the capital Chang’an away from the violence of the An Shi Rebellion that began in the year 755 during the mid Tang Dynasty.

I think that the painter put a lot of emphasis on nature in the painting, which draws the viewer’s attention away from the horsemen.  To me, it shows the men as insignificant when it comes to the beauty of nature, no matter what the situation that the men are in.  I love how the artist paints the mountains and clouds in the horizon.  It expands the boundaries of the painting, rather than centering the attention on the horsemen.

这幅画有漂亮的树和石头, 还有两个人在休息。 休息的地方被自然包围着,所以我觉得这个地方很安静和和平。 在休息的地方,两个人喝着东西,看着漂亮的风景。 这幅画没有很多颜色,事实上,它只有一个褐色。 可是, 这幅画仍漂亮得很。

唐寅在1470年生的。 他是明代一位画家、诗人和书法家. 虽然我不懂,我觉得这个中文在上是 一首诗因为他也是诗人。 后来,他得靠卖他的画生活 因为他是很穷。但是 他是 “明代四大师”之一。 我选了这幅画,因为它有个很有意思的标题 – 唐寅的醉舞狂歌图 。

我觉得唐寅试图描绘了一个和平的下午。 只用一个单一的颜色,画家想显示这里不太繁忙 。 两个人远离负担 享受阳光和 悠闲的下午。要是我在里边的幅画, 我可能会喝啤酒, 在岩石上躺下和享受好天气。

There are beautiful trees and rocks in the picture. Also, there are two people in the resting place. The resting place is surrounded by the nature, so I think it is very peaceful and quiet. Two people are resting and drinking something looking at the beautiful scenery. This painting does not have many colors, in fact, it only has one, but it is still very beautiful.

Tang Yin was born in 1470. He was a painter, poet, and a calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty. Even though I don’t understand, I think the Chinese above the painting is a poem, since he was a poet as well. Later, he had to sell pictures to make a living because he was so poor. However, he was among “the Four Masters of Ming Dynasty.” I chose this painting because it had an interesting title.

I think the painter tried to portray a peaceful afternoon. By using only a single color, the painter wanted to show that there is nothing busy going on. The two people are enjoying the sunlight and laid-back afternoon, away from burden. If I were in the painting, I would probably be drinking beer and lying down on the rock enjoying the nice weather.
