lingo-ling Posted July 7, 2015 at 04:18 PM Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 at 04:18 PM It's a description of the art of penjing. Surprisingly, I was able to Google it. 中國盆景是以樹木、山石等爲素材，經藝術處理和精心培養，在盆中集中典型地再現大自然神貌的藝術品。盆景被譽爲“無聲的詩，立體的畫”。說她是詩，卻寓意於丘壑林泉之中，說她是畫，卻生機盎然，四時多變。這種源於自然，高於自一然，樹石、盆盎。幾架三位一體的藝術品，經曆代盆景藝術家的精心雕鑿，成爲中國藝術寶庫中的一塊瑰寶。她以鮮明的民族特色，古雅的藝術風格而馳譽世界。 Quick and dirty translation of the first sentence: "Chinese penjing is an artwork whose materials include trees and rocks, given artistic treatment and careful cultivation, concentrated in a pot to recreate a natural appearance." I don't have the time to translate the rest of it, unfortunately. You could put it through Google Translate for a rough gist. Or maybe some kind soul will take a crack at it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
