The Colors of Mount Taihang

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.
