1. Translation of the classical Chinese text "Appraisal of Paintings"... Experts come in

Most people who collect paintings and calligraphy now only pay attention to the reputation of the painter and do not distinguish what the painting itself is like.

Once it was said to be the handwriting of Zhong Yao, Wang Xizhi, Gu Kaizhi and Lu Tanwei, everyone who saw it rushed to buy it. This is the so-called "ear appraisal", which means identifying works by ear alone.

There is also the appreciation of paintings and touching them with your hands. According to legend, this identification method is to touch the work with your fingers and feel the color of the work. What you can feel is a masterpiece.

This is again under the "ear test", which can be called "listening to the bones." Ouyang Xiu once obtained an ancient painting "Peony Bush", with a cat painted under the peonies. He didn't know whether this painting was a masterpiece or a poor one.

One day his in-laws, Prime Minister Wu Yu, saw it and said: "This is the peony flower at noon. Why do you say that? Look at this flower, the petals are open and the color is dry, which means that the sun is in the head." Flowers.

The pupils of the cat’s eyes are aligned, which is exactly what a cat’s eyes look like at noon. Flowers with dew in the morning are generally restrained and moist in color.

During the day, the pupils of a cat’s eyes are round in the morning and evening; when the sun gradually approaches noon, the pupils become long and narrow; at noon, they become a line. "Wu Yu can be said to be good at understanding the meaning of ancient people's writing. People. 2. Portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang, classical Chinese

Portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang - Folklore of Nanjing

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to paint a portrait that would be passed down to future generations, so he found countless painters to paint it, but they were all unsatisfactory. If he doesn't get what he wants, he will kill people. He has killed countless painters.

Is this painting so difficult to draw? Not fake. You don’t know that Zhu Yuanzhang’s appearance is so difficult to draw! A horse's face and a pig's mouth, with thirty-six red pockmarks added. When the painter saw it, he scratched his head and didn't know where to start.

On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang found three painter brothers again and asked them to paint his portrait.

On the first day, the boss went to paint. He looked carefully at Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and he counted all the thirty-six pockmarks on his face, so he traced it carefully. After painting for a long time, he finally painted a lifelike Zhu Yuanzhang, with a horse face and a pig's mouth, and thirty-six red pockmarks. Unexpectedly, when Zhu Yuanzhang saw it, he was so angry that he tore it into pieces with a bang, slapped the table, and called for the boss to kill him.

The next day, the second child went to paint. He did not dare to be careless and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's face carefully. He even remembered the color depth and size of the thirty-six pockmarks. He traced and painted carefully, and after working for a long time, he painted a vivid Zhu Yuanzhang, with a horse face and a pig's mouth, and thirty-six red pockmarks. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it, stretched his face to a foot length, stretched out his hand and tore the portrait apart, slapped the table, and killed the second child again.

At night, the third child couldn't sleep. Both his eldest and second brothers died in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands. How could he paint this portrait tomorrow? The third child was worrying when a stranger walked in and asked, "Do you want to die or live?" The third child honestly said that he was wondering what the two brothers failed to draw well and deserved the death penalty. The man laughed and said: "Don't think about it, it's just that your two brothers are so similar in their paintings! This is not asking for death! Zhu Yuanzhang admired Tang Taizong Li Shimin and Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin most in his life. You can look at their portraits tonight. See it through, and just paint their portraits tomorrow, and I guarantee that you will avoid death." The third child thought to himself, it would mean death anyway, so it would be better to try as he said.

The man said again: "But you have to promise me one thing."

The third child quickly asked: "What is it? Just say it!"

< p> The man said: "When you come back, draw me a true portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang."

"It's not difficult." Lao San agreed.

On the third day, the third child went to the temple to have his portrait taken. He pretended to look left and right, taking a closer look at Zhu Yuanzhang. Then he went down to the hall, raised his pen, and in a blink of an eye he had painted a portrait of a rich and handsome man, who looked like Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, but there was no one. He looks like Zhu Yuanzhang. The third child didn't care about anything and walked up to the hall. Unexpectedly, when Zhu Yuanzhang saw this portrait, he relaxed his brows, grinned, and smiled: "Well done! Well done! Give me a big reward, a big reward!"

It is said that now The portrait displayed in the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum was painted by Lao San in the palace.

The true portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang was later passed down. It was another one that the third child drew for the savior after he returned home. This portrait is so strange that it looks like it was peeled off Zhu Yuanzhang's face. The man kept praising: "Good, good! Our descendants can also see the dignity of Emperor Zhu!" 3. Classical Chinese, literature and paintings are all translated by people

[Original]

Zi Chang said that poems, calligraphy and paintings are all based on human beings. Su and Huang's ink has been passed down to this day, and every word is gold; Zhang, Jing, and Bian are not Gongshu, and later generations regard it as excrement, and a penny is not straight. Uncle Yong once said that all the people in ancient times were able to write, but the sages of their own were able to pass on their writings far and wide. Although Yan Lugong’s writings were not perfect, future generations would definitely treasure them, and they were not unique writings. Poetry and prose all belong to this category.

[Translation]

I once said that poetry, calligraphy and painting become valuable because of people’s moral character. Su Shi and Huang Tingjian’s ink writings have been passed down to this day, and one word is worth ordinary Gold is several times as good as gold. Don't Zhang Dun, Cai Jing, Cai Bian and others write well? But people in later generations regard their words as dung, worthless. Ouyang Xiu once said that people in ancient times were very good at handwriting, but only the handwriting of honest and virtuous people can be passed down for a long time. Even if the handwriting of Yan Lugong (Yan Zhenqing) is not good, future generations will not be able to write well. When people see him, they will treat his calligraphy as a treasure, not just because of the quality of his calligraphy itself. This is true for poems and articles. 4. Translation of the classical Chinese text on the shepherd boy’s appraisal of paintings

1. There was a man named Du Chushi in Sichuan who loved calligraphy and painting. He had hundreds of paintings and calligraphy in his collection. There is a painting painted by Dai Song. He particularly liked it. He used jade as a scroll and a brocade bag to roll it up and often carried it with him.

2. One day, he took out his collection of calligraphy and paintings to dry up. A shepherd boy saw the painting painted by Dai Song, clapped his hands and laughed, saying: "This is a painting of bullfighting, bulls fighting each other." At that time, the power was all on the horns, and the tail was sandwiched between the two legs; now your painting shows them fighting with their wings and tails raised, which is wrong!"

3. Du Chushi smiled and thought that the shepherd boy was right. The old saying goes: "You should ask your mother-in-law for plowing, and you should ask your maid for weaving. This sentence is unchangeable."

Good calligraphy and painting. Like

The reported number of hundreds. Quantifier

The tail twitches into the thigh between the two strands

Today, the tail is turned and the fight is. However. However

The virgin smiled and said

I must adopt it! ! ! Typed out! ! ! 5. Classical Chinese, Huahuoxueshu
