Original text and translation of Cai Yuanpei's pictures.

The original text is as follows:

What we get from vision is all about the face, depending on the skin between the horns, and then regard it as the body. Architecture, sculpture, decent art, it is a picture that replaces the body with the face, and still contains the feeling of the body on the face.

What does the body feel like? Yue, from the proportion of distance, the shade of light and shade. Westerners are more interested in drawing shadows to write light, while scenery is closer to nature.

Screen content: people, animals, plants, palaces, mountains and rivers, religions, history and customs. It not only looks at architectural sculpture very complicated, but also contains music and poetry, so it is particularly touching.

The translation is as follows:

All we see are noodles. With the help of touch, we realize that food is three-dimensional. Architecture and sculpture are the art of perfect combination. There is also the art of choosing plane instead of three-dimensional, but it still looks three-dimensional. This is painting.

Where does the three-dimensional sense come from? It is reflected by the proportion of distance and the reflection of light and dark. In the west, light and shadow perspective and aerial perspective are added, which effectively forms the three-dimensional sense of space and distance of the picture, making the picture closer to the real thing.

There are eight kinds of pictures, namely people, animals, plants, palaces, landscapes, religions, history and customs. Painting is more complicated than architectural sculpture.
