This is my 61st Combined Paintingthat I have created / painted for Chinese Classical Poetry, and my 665th painting since 2003 ; also, it is my 38th assignment in Chinese National Academy of Arts.
This is the third time I painted a new painting to match the poem Fu de Gu Yuan Cao Songbie - Send Off on the Ancient Plain by the famous poet Bai Juyi in Tang Dynasty ( 618 - 907).
I completed it as my first assignment in the new term in my classroom in CNAA.
One of my tutors Mr. Wu Tong thought that I have made much progress on using Chinese brush and ink, the feeling is right and comfortable, however, I should not use the brush too dry.
According to the opinions of my tutors and for respecting them, I did not write my English translation on the painting and I did not sign my name in English. :-)
Anyway, I have done a draft for writing them after I go back home or I am abroad ... :-)
Below is the translation that I wished to write on my painting and to help my readers to understand the Chinese poem:
The Main Meaning of the Poem
Lush grass grows on the ancient plain,
Each year it withers & flourishes
Wildfire cannot burn it out,
It re-grows in the spring breeze.
Chinese Characters & Pronunciations :
You can clink any Chinese Character to open the New Character Board and to see its Chinese pinyin, meaning, pronunciation and follow me to read it, also, you can hit the links over to enter the Language Column, to see my comments about this poem
赋得古原草送别 （ 第一部分 -- The first part of the peom）
白居易 ( 唐 )
离离原上草,
一岁一枯荣。
野火烧不尽，
春风吹又生。
For helping my readers and friends who are interested in Chinese cultures and language learning, I created a piece of music to match this poem in 2006 and created another two paintings to match the poem in 2010.
Now, in 2012, my music tutor - Prof. Meng Weiye corrected my music writing, my English tutors - Mr. Mike, J, Mr. William G., Mr. Dennis H., and Mrs. Xiaogang Z. from Britain, America and China corrected my translations.
I do hope that our effort will be some help with you to know something more about Chinese culture.
How do you think of this painting, do you enjoy it?
