赏析《韩熙载夜宴图》英语作文The Painting of Han Xizai's Banquet is a masterpiece in the history of Chinese painting, and it is also a famous painting with stories. He described the scene of Han Xizai's family having a feast and having fun in the form of a series of long scrolls. It is the quintessence of traditional Chinese painting, a rare treasure, and has been treasured by emperors of all dynasties. The author is Gu Hongzhong, a painter of the Southern Tang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties. Jiangnan people. The Emperor Yuanzong and the Empress Leader were then the painters waiting for the imperial edict. Then why did he go back to paint the dinner of Han Xizai's family? This is a story about ancient spy painters.Who is Han Xizai? He was originally from Beihai (today's Weifang, Shandong Province) and was born in a famous official family. After the Southern Tang Dynasty in Nantou, he repeatedly offered national policies but was not trusted. Facing the pressure of the soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Yu, the late leader who survived, wanted to appoint him as prime minister to help him govern the country. But Han Xizai, who knew that he was powerless to return to the world, celebrated every day and expressed his lack of interest in politics to avoid the suspicion of Li Yu, the late leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Afterhearing this, Empress Li sent painter Gu Hongzhong to the Han Mansion to inquire about the truth. After returning home from the banquet, Gu Hongzhong painted a picture of Han Xizai's banquet, creating this masterpiece "Han Xizai's Banquet Picture". Afterseeing this, Empress Li sighed with regret that "the carved railings and jade bricks should still be there, but only the painted face should be changed".Han Xizai's Night Banquet is not only a picture of private life, but more importantly, it reflects the customs, corruption and extravagance of thatparticular era. Because of the author's subtle observation, he never missed any detail and vividly described the scenes of Han Xizai's life. All the characters in the picture are lifelike. In this masterpiece, there are more than 40 people with different expressions, and they are all real people closely related to Han Xizai. Among the guests are Lang Can, the new number one scholar of the year, Chen Yong, Dr. Taichang, Zhu Xian, Ziwei Lang, and other officials and deputy envoy Li Jiaming, as well as some popular singers and dancers at that time. The atmosphere of the dinner was extremely warm, and the guests and guests were toasting, which made them drunk. In the course of the dinner, there were also singing, music playing and dancing. The guests were intoxicated with joy one by one. They appear repeatedly like montages. Each person has different personalities, looks realistic, and looks natural and lifelike. ThePainting of Han Xizai's Night Banquet depicts many characters and dazzling singing and dancing scenes from a side of life with exquisite brushwork, forming a plete picture of the banquet and entertainment, which vividly reflects the life scene of the ruling class at that time with amazing observation and profound understanding of the fate and thought of the protagonist.This painting is divided into five sections in chronological order, which are ingeniously separated by screens, beds, etc., which are both independent of each other and connected with scenes.The first paragraph is "listening to music", which depicts Han Xizai and the guests are listening to a Pingting woman playing the pipa. The painter focuses on the moment when the whole atmosphere is solidified at the beginning of the performance. The spirit and vision of each figure in the painting are concentrated in the hands of the pipa girl. The beauty of this woman is further evidenced by the poem: "Emei's pink neck is round and moist, and my fair lady is charming and charming. She plays the lute with thin fingers, and the residual sound lingers around the beam for three days.". From the hand playing the pipa, it seems that beautiful and clear notes came out, which shook the eardrums of the audience and captured their innerfeelings. Even Han Xizai, with a tall crown and long beard, looked down at the collapsed edge thoughtfully. For different characters, according to their different identities and ages, painters carve out theirdifferent postures, personalities and expressions, showing the author's remarkable painting skills.The second paragraph is "watching the dance". The small and exquisite famous prostitute Wangwushan dances in the drum beat with a clear rhythm, and Han Xizai loses interest in drinking several cups. Hold the drumstick and roll up the sleeve, and personally e forward to beat the drum for him. The guests hugged the beauties around them and drank good wine. The atmosphere reached a climax. In this scene, a monk stretched his fingers, as if he had just finished clapping, and his eyes were watching Han Xizai's drumming action without looking at the dance, showing an embarrassed look, which fully matched the specific look of this particular figure.The third paragraph is "rest", which depicts the rest scene in the middle of the banquet. Han Xizai is probably tired of beating the drum, lying on the couch in the inner room surrounded by the maids, washing his hands while talking with the maids to rest, which is also a break in the whole picture of the banquet plot.The fourth paragraph is "Qing Blowing", which depicts the scene of female dancers playing wind instruments. After the rest, Han Xizai changed his casual clothes and sat cross knee on the chair,talking to a maid. The female dancers who played the music formed a line. They were irregular and graceful, with different dynamics. The unity showed changes, as if there was clear and sweet music in the picture. All the guests looked refreshed after the rest. The whole scene was like a banquet reopening, singing and dancing.The fifth paragraph is "Farewell". The picture depicts that after the banquet, some guests leave, and some reluctantly talk with the female dancers, which ends the whole picture. A plete picture volume is interwoven with a warm and cold, lingering and gloomy atmosphere. In the instant enjoyment of life and death, Han Xizai's disappointment in life, political career and even the country is implied, and this mood, in turn, strengthens his persistence and yearning for life. The use of screen, bed and other furniture inthe picture has a special role. On the one hand, it separates the picture, so that each picture can be separated into chapters. On the other hand, it links the pictures together, making the whole picture form a unified picture, which has a feeling of unity.This painting is now stored in the Palace Museum. In the past years, the story of several circulation of this painting is also people's favorite. Among them, Zhang Dagan, a famous Chinese painter, also gave up his house to buy paintings, which is even more widely spread.The world knows Zhang Daqian mostly because of his paintings. Because his paintings are so famous, in fact, he has made great achievements in collecting and identifying ancient calligraphy and painting. Zhang Daqian once said that his identification was better than painting.After the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan, Zhang Daqian once lived in the Summer Palace in Beijing. The local customs and cultural atmosphere of Beijing fascinated him. He originally planned tosettle in Beijing. At that time, there happened to be a palace house for sale. Zhang Daqian was very satisfied with the house. He negotiated with the owner about the price, paid a deposit and agreed on a price of 500 liang gold.One day, Zhang Daqian learned from an antique dealer that Han Xizai's Night Banquet, a rare Chinese figure painting by Gu Hongzhong of the Southern TangDynasty, appeared in Beijing Liulichang, and the shopkeeper offered a sky high price of 500 taels of gold. The price was not negotiable. Zhang Daqian fidgeted after hearing the news, eager to see and buy this famous painting. After a little discussion with my friends, I went to the Liulichang to look for the shopkeeper to see the painting. It's OK if I don't see it, but I can't forget it once I see it. Zhang Daqian is obsessed with this painting and must sell it. But where does the money e from? After much discussion with his friends, Zhang Daqian decided to postpone buying the palace house and buy the "Banquet Picture" first. Zhang Daqian said to his friend with emotion: "The house will still exist in the future, but this picture will be lost once it is left, and will never return." Zhang Daqian gave up buying a house and raised 500 liang of gold the next day to deliver the house to Yuchi Mountain.After Zhang Daqian bought this picture in Peiping in 1945 with 500 liang of gold that he wanted to buy a house, he fell in love with it. His soul and dream depended on each other. He saw it as a life acpanying him all over the famous mountains, rivers and other countries, and never separated. He specially carved a seal for the "Banquet Painting", which said, "In the southeast and northwest, there is no separation but following each other". Stamped on the drawing volume.Zhang Daqian has regarded his collection of ancient calligraphy and paintings as a treasure all his life. No matter how much Chinese or foreigners pay, he will not sell them. However, in 1951, Zhang Daqian made an amazing decision in Hong Kong: to sell Han Xizai's Dinner Picture. Moreover, he did not sell it to foreigners or Hong Kong ancient calligraphy and painting merchants, but transferred it to one of his friends at the lowest price. Its price is even lower than the general ancient calligraphy and painting in Hong Kong market. Han Xizai's Night Banquet is onlyfor 20000 dollars! Zhang Daqian's act shocked and confused many people. Why is this? Why did he give up his love at a low price? This mystery was not revealed until Zhang Daqian died. It turned out that Zhang Daqian was afraid that he would live overseas and bee an eternal criminal in case of loss of national treasures, so he decided to leave his paintings on the mainland. He took a special way to transfer it to a friend at the lowest price. Soon, under the direction of Zhou Enlai, Zheng Zhenduo, who was then thedirector of the State Administration for Social and Cultural Affairs, went to Hong Kong and bought back the three national treasures, including Han Xi's Banquet Picture, at the original price from Zhang Daqian's friend. So far, this national treasure will be permanently stored in the Palace Museum in Beijing.The Painting of Han Xizai's Banquet is a painting that carries too much. It is worth remembering whetherin painting skills, history, connotation or background. The Southern Tang Dynasty is really a sad dynasty, and Li Yu, the latter, is a rare sad emperor in history. His talent in poetry and calligraphy is really excellent, but he must have been an emperor. Otherwise, he must be a free and easy vagabond. He lives freely and indulges in poetry and vocal music. Maybe he is another Tang Bohu. However, the fate was alwaysagainst the wishes of others. Empress Li could only be imprisoned by the enemy in his later years and sighed that "the carved railings and jade bricks should still be there, but only the beautiful ones should be changed".Han Xizai may also be a petent but powerlessofficial in this era. No matter how talented you are, you can only indulge in the banquets with those people every day to protect yourself. Gu Hong's center knew that Han Xizai was actually trying to protect himself, and wanted to show that he was not interested in power, so as to avoid being suspected and persecuted by the emperor. No one can say that Han Xizai is a corrupt person. He is just unable to resist the trend of this era.Gu Hongzhong is a visitor of this era. Record it. Perhaps, history is a feast staged at any moment. The characters walk up and down, and the scenes change.But the moon is still the moon, and the mountains and rivers are still the same. Han Xizai is gone, so is Li Yu. People are insignificant in the long river of history, no matter you are big or small. However, Han Xizai's Night Banquet has survived, and the spread of culture and history is always in order. Perhaps we should all thank Gu Hongzhong, who has left us a picture of history with his fine and round lines and appropriate shades of color, so that we can open and close our books for meditation.。
