中国画的介绍Introduction of Chinese Painting

    中国画是华人的传统绘画形式，也是琴棋书画四艺之一。中国画的题材可分为人物、山水、花鸟等。文人画在宋代已有发展，宋朝以前绘图材料昂贵，因此题材多以贵族的肖像为主。明朝之后，国画开始推广到大众，成为了市民生活的一部分，风俗画也因此产生。近现代的中国画在继承传统和吸收外来的技法上有所突破和发展。从美术史上讲，民国前的中国画都被称之为古画，而国画在古代并没有名称，一般被称之为丹青。绘画中国画的工具是古代文人不可缺少的，中国画多以毛笔沾水、墨和彩作画于宣纸上，因此工具和材料有毛笔，彩，墨，宣纸等。

        Chinese painting is a traditional Chinese painting form, and it is also one of the four arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The themes of Chinese painting can be divided into literati painting, landscapes, flowers and birds, etc. Literati painting developed in the Song Dynasty. Before the Song Dynasty, drawing materials were expensive, so the subjects were mostly portraits of nobles. After the Ming Dynasty, Chinese painting began to spread to the public and became a part of citizens' lives, and genre paintings also came into being. Modern Chinese painting has made breakthroughs and developments in inheriting traditions and absorbing foreign techniques. In the history of fine arts, Chinese paintings before the Republic of China were all called ancient paintings, while Chinese paintings did not have a name in ancient times, and were generally called Danqing. The tools for painting Chinese paintings were indispensable for ancient literati. Chinese paintings were mostly painted on rice paper with brushes dipped in water, ink and color. Therefore, the tools and materials include brushes, colour, ink, and rice paper.

鉴赏与心得 Appreciation

    我选择画竹是因为竹子象征着清高的气节，这对文人来说是一种精神上的象征，对于学者更是精神支持。就连郑板桥先生都以一首诗来写出竹子的坚强不屈傲然挺立的品格。我选择画荷花，是因为荷花芬芳高洁，容浊又容清。荷花的不染不妖，象征着高尚的文人理想。“荷花”里的“荷”谐音为和，因此荷花还被赋予祥和，和气的美好寓意。我选择画兰花是因为兰花有着花中君子的美誉，也被作为高洁典雅的象征。最后我选择画菊花是因为它是中国传统名花，它隽美多姿，然而不以娇艳姿色来取媚，却以素雅坚贞取胜。

        I chose to paint bamboo because bamboo symbolizes high integrity, which is a spiritual symbol for literati and spiritual support for scholars. Even Mr. Zheng Banqiao wrote a poem about bamboo's unyielding and proud character. Then，I chose to paint lotus because the lotus is fragrant and clean, turbid and clear. The lotus is not stained, symbolizing the noble literati ideals. The homonym of "he" in "Lotus" is harmony, so lotus is also endowed with a beautiful meaning of harmony. I chose to paint cymbidiums because cymbidiums have the reputation of being a gentleman among flowers, and they are also regarded as a symbol of elegance. In the end, I chose to paint chrysanthemum because it is a famous traditional Chinese flower. It is beautiful and colourful, but it does not win by its charming beauty, but by its simplicity and steadfastness.

    在上这一门课之前，我对中国画知识了解的不多，我只知道它是以墨和基本的彩来作画的，但我从未正式去作画。所以这次很幸运能通过中华艺术这门课来正式接触中国画。中国画看似简单，实际上需要日积月累的努力才能好好画，在这期间我学到了很多，像是作画的时候的墨的调法如浓、淡、清等或是用笔的方式等。从第一次起笔到画出一幅画，我用了很多张宣纸，但我也在慢慢的学习。虽然到最后我所画出来的作品并不算是好的，但是我从中学习到了很多，我也在作画的过程中感受到了心灵上的平静，让我暂时的忘记了生活里的烦心事，只想专心的完成眼前的这幅作品，我想这也是中国画的魅力之一。我想我之后如果有空闲时间也还是会坚持作中国画，因为这真的是一个很有意义的爱好。

      Before taking this course, I didn't know much about Chinese painting. I only knew that it was painted with ink and basic colours, but I never went to paint officially. So this time I'm very lucky to be able to formally come into contact with Chinese painting through the course of Chinese Art. Chinese painting seems simple. In fact, it takes a lot of hard work to paint well. During this period, I learned a lot, such as the tone of ink when painting such as thick, light, and clear, or the way of using brushes. From the first time I started to draw a picture, I used a lot of paper, but I am also learning from it. Although the works I painted in the end were not good, I learned a lot from them. I also felt the peace of mind in the process of painting, which made me temporarily forget the troubles in life and just want to concentrate on finishing the work in front of me. I think this is also one of the charms of Chinese painting. I think I will continue to make Chinese paintings if I have free time because this is really a meaningful hobby.
