Emergency Fishing: A Classical Chinese Translation

Wang Moshu has a fishing map, which was originally in Liu Ningzhou's home now. Liu Ningzhou is good at painting, and because several generations are prominent officials, he has collected many masterpieces of the ancients. He once said to me: "This (fishing map) takes an idea (indicating that the idea of the picture is integrated with the scenery) to shoot a scene, and others can't do it. (Liu Ningzhou) Among the paintings collected, "Fishing Map" is the most prominent. " Every time I think of the superb taste of fishing maps, I don't see them in person to verify what I have heard. Cui Boxian of Chang 'an got the description of the fishing map, so (I) found it and looked at it carefully. (Fishing picture) Generally, the picture painted on the banner silk is the giant axis, in which there is water and heavy snow is the weather in late winter: there are two islands, one shore and one continent in the water, and all the trees are on the outside of the continent. The top of the tree is tall and straight, and some are only fifteen. There are seven boats, big and small, four of which are connected to build windmills. Above the boat, there are awnings, boards, poles and bottles for people to walk on. Pots, cages, spoons 17 people, 20 people; But there are two young people, a woman, eight three-axis men, three men carrying poles, 1 a person who makes a fire, 1 a person who picks firewood, 1 a person who draws water from a well sideways, 1 a person who peeps by his body, 1 a person who holds money. There is nothing better than these inexhaustible exquisiteness and skill drawn with pen and ink. This is the staff of the artifact. Ah! This copy is still like this. I don't know how good it is, how to collect it in Liu Ningzhou's home. There was a man named Guo Huan who was good at rubbing inscriptions and calligraphy with paper and ink. I asked him to draw one too. Guo Huan's murals have dimensions and are very lovely. Like her, I will study hard. I painted the trees and stones myself.
