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.
