ANCIENT CHINESE ART ON SHOW

中国古代艺术展览

The Richfield Museum of Fine Art is proud to present our new exhibition, “From Shang to Qing: Chinese Art Through the Ages.”

瑞奇菲尔德美术博物馆很荣幸推出全新展览——“从商到清：中国艺术千古流传”。

Join us as we explore more than 3,000 years of wonderful art from the Middle Kingdom.

欢迎与我们一同探寻来自中国绵延三千多年的精美艺术。

From bronze bowls to ceramic vases, and jade sculptures to ink wash paintings, our goal is to display the Chinese artistic genius from ancient times.

从青铜器皿到陶瓷花瓶，从玉雕作品到水墨画作，本次展览旨在展现中国古代卓越的艺术才华。

The highlight of this exhibition is the painting Clearing After Snow on a Mountain Pass, one of the great works of Tang Yin (1470-1524).

本次展览的重头戏是唐寅（1470-1524）的经典画作之一——《函关雪霁图》。

Born during the Ming Dynasty, Tang sought and failed to gain entry into the civil service, so he turned to painting instead.

唐寅生于明代，求取功名未果，于是转而投身绘画。

In time, he gained recognition as one of the greatest artists China has ever known.

久而久之，他被公认为中国史上最伟大的艺术家之一。

This painting, showing high mountains, trees, and houses covered in snow, was made with extraordinary skill.

这幅画作描绘了覆雪的高山、林木与屋舍，创作技艺超凡。

Though it is over 500 years old, it looks as fresh and full of life as the day it was created.

尽管已有五百余年历史，画作依旧如新，生机盎然。

Also of primary note is a collection of nearly 100 bronze objects from the Shang Dynasty (1600 BCE-1046 BCE).

另一大看点是近百件商代（公元前1600年—公元前1046年）青铜藏品。

While the artists who made these great works are not known, they showed great skill in creating these beautiful pieces.

创造这些珍品的匠人姓名已无从考证，但他们打造精美器物的技艺炉火纯青。

Some of the items on display are thought to have come from the collection of Emperor Qianlong (1711-1799), a great admirer of Shang Dynasty bronze.

部分展品相传出自乾隆皇帝（1711-1799）的收藏，乾隆十分喜爱商代青铜器。

Finally, we have many fine examples of Tang Dynasty (618-907) sculptures.

最后，展馆还有大量唐代（618-907）雕塑精品。

Most of these are of Buddhist origin.

这些雕塑大多与佛教相关。

Even though Buddhism entered China much earlier, it did not really begin to show expansion until the seventh century.

虽然佛教传入中国的时间更早，但直到公元七世纪才真正广泛传播。

During this same period, trade along the Silk Road also boomed.

同一时期，丝绸之路贸易蓬勃发展。

Chinese sculpture thus found itself highly influenced by Buddhist art brought from India and Central Asia through the Silk Road.

经由丝绸之路传入的印度、中亚佛教艺术，深刻影响了中国雕塑。

These works were intended to spread Buddhism and they are of exceptional beauty and quality.

这些雕塑旨在弘扬佛法，兼具极高的艺术美感与工艺水准。

Looking at the faces of the figures in these sculptures, one sees the faces of the past.

凝望雕塑人物的面容，仿佛得以窥见往昔众生。

History is brought to life.

历史就此鲜活重现。

This is just a small taste of what is in store for you in this exhibition.

以上只是本次展览的一小部分看点。
