The horses painted by Han Gan are real horses.
韩干马十四匹
苏轼 〔宋代〕
二马并驱攒八蹄,二马宛颈鬃尾齐。
一马任前双举后,一马却避长呜嘶。
老髯奚官奇且顾,前身作马通马语。
后有八匹饮且行,微流赴吻若有声。
前者既济出林鹤,后者欲涉鹤俯啄。
最后一匹马中龙,不嘶不动尾摇风。
韩生画马真是马,苏子作诗如见画。
世无伯乐亦无韩,此诗此画谁当看?

Writing
假设你是中国博物馆“文物回家”(Cultural-relic Returing)项目组的一名工作人员。 你给纽约大都会艺术博物馆的馆长写信,请他认真考虑,将中国画作——《照夜白图》归还给中国博物馆。

1.画作的作者是中国家喻户晓的著名画家,中国是他的家乡。该画作是非法流入海外,中国人盼望回归;
2.画作的内容、背景等信息,只有中国人才最懂,回到中国才最能体现它的艺术价值;
3.词数在120左右。
1. Night-Shining White, now kept in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, is regarded as one of the most significant
horse paintings in the history of Chinese art.
现收藏于纽约大都会艺术博物馆,《照夜白图》 被认为是中国艺术史上最重要的骏马图之一。
Language points
Night-Shining White is a portrait, and the name, of a favorite horse of Emperor Xuanzong (r.712-756). The painting is 34 cm wide by 30.8 cm high. Delicate and precise, it is an example of “baihua”(or “white painting”), a term used in Tang texts to describe monochrome (黑白的) painting with ink shading, as opposed to full colour painting.
Over the years, many seals and inscriptions have been added to the painting and its borders by its owners. Being a distinctive mark of Chinese art collecting, these serve as a record of the work’s journey through history and the impression it has left upon each generation.
2. His artistic talent was discovered by accident when he was sent to the poet Wang Wei’s house to collect payment for some wine.
他被派到诗人王维家里去收酒钱,王维无意中发现了他的艺术才华。
by accident: by chance; in a way that is not planned or
intended 偶然,意外地
e.g. The basement caught fire by accident.
3. While waiting at the gate, Han Gan used a stick to draw pictures in the dirt and was seen by the poet himself.
当时,韩干在门口等候,他捡起一根木棒在土地上画画,正好被王维看到。
