阿愚：砚边碎语

Ayu:Comment on my paintings

1、 但得神遇，不以迹求。我自认为还不是个真正的画家，我却执意地渴望成为画家，然而天物弄人，我还是没有“吃牛肉变成牛，吃羊肉变成羊”。

Whether God exist or not, I still desire to experience miracles,. Since I do not think I am a genuine artist, I am just longing to be a excellent painter. But the God always like to make fun of human beings, My  works are not so splendid as I hoped, although I have been engaged in painting work. for many years.

2、王维有言：“妙悟者不在多言，善学者还从规矩”。绘画是造型艺术，目的是为了表达心中的意境与神韵，以形写神，将人的情思与自然相融，达到“物我合一”的境界，这也是画家思想和观念表达的一种最好的语言。中国画的写意绘画多以自然为题材，尽量做到气韵生动，以意象为主，形象为辅，追求笔墨趣味。

WangWei had a saying,”Good lecturer never talks too much, good scholars learn from the rules." Painting is a modelling art. In order to express the mood and spirit in mind,the traditional Chinese painter always enjoy taking naturally things as a theme, and trying to make it artistically vivid and lively..

3、中国画很有趣味，比如我们在纸上画两条直线，如果在两线之中画条船，观者会感觉是一条河；中间画辆汽车，就成了路；如果在旁边画个碗，就是筷子了；画个香炉又变为两支香…… Chinese painting is very interesting. For instance, we draw two straight lines on the paper ,if a boat is drawn in the two lines,we know this will be a river,if we draw a car, they become a road, next we draw a bowl ,then they will be the chopsticks, we draw a incense burner,they become joss sticks……

4、“胸有成竹”的观点在绘画中一定程度上约束了画家的创造性，如果我们知道每天要遇见几个人，也知道遇见谁，也知道需要说什么话，这样活着我们会感到无奈和乏味，也就没有了“他乡遇故知”、“风雨故人来”之惊喜和激动了。“the view of  With confidence" point restraint the creative of the artists to some extent. if we know how many people we meet every day, and  know who we meet and what to say, we will feel helpless and tedious,there is not the surprises and excitement of “the Encounter of  the Refresher  in  Away from home” and  “the Arrival of Old friend In the rainand wind”.

5、知其法而会用其法，忘其法，不受约束，如说话一样轻松。为高、法则讲。坦白从宽，艺术上反之。如果画面啥都交代清楚，如同地图，我们在舞台上看到戏子扬鞭，就知道是赶马。

The law with the law, the law, without restrictions, such as speak. the high and laws. frankly speaking, let the picture on the contrary. if anything, and as a map on the stage, we see  swagger, we knew he was driving

 枪响人倒下就是生命的完结。画面的春冬交替，知道年复。唱支山歌，下来那句大家也都知道。点到为止，笔断意连，曲则通幽，穷则思变。藏、露，是思想上的高度，我们画画的永远不要把看画者当成傻瓜，啥都要讲明白，那就没有了悬念，没有了神秘。

Shoting down is the end of life. The picture alternative between spring and winter, till the summer of year.Singing a Folk Song, the following is everyone konw.Go beyond,Pen broken while it still attached,bent is through quiet,prosperity leads to Adversity.Hiding and showing is a highly ideological,We never think someone as a fool to look at the paintings.if everything needs understanding,there is no suspense and Mysterious.

古人在许多诗中都说明了，可惜注意到的却不多。如“草色遥看近却无”，说观察的距离；“却抱琵琶半遮面”，说藏露；“横看成岭侧成峰”，讲角度；“明月几时有”，说心境。

 The ancients had pointed out the cases in many poems, but unfortunately not many people noticed. Such as "you can see the grass at far view not close" showed observed distance; "holding partly concealed," said concealment and revelation; "cross as many different angles," speaking the point of view; "comparative study", said  the state of mind.

中医讲“痛则不通，通则不痛”，画面的构成如同人身的经脉，气韵不通，则滞，不通则痛。构图如同两军对垒，各就其位，聚散、大小、多少、缓急、攻守、动靜……敌中有我，我中有敌，也如“密不透风，疏可跑马”。

Chinese say "pain is unreasonable, General does not hurt," the composition of the screen as the person's meridians of the spirit of unreasonable, then stagnation, not General pain. Composition as the two armies confront each other, in its place and everything, size, number, priorities, offensive and defensive, movement ... ... the enemy in me, I have an enemy, but also as "airtight, sparse to Happy Valley."

 6、学习的捷径就是认识和方法。笨鸟先飞是要先认清正确的方向，如果方向反了，还是一味辛勤地飞呀飞，结果不难想象，如同喝毒药，一杯可能不会中毒，连续喝上十几杯，那可能就中毒太深，死得更快。The shortcut to learning is understanding and methods.First you have to realize the correct direction, then you shall struggle and persevere for it. If the direction is wrong, then all your efforts will be in vain.

7、人之所以有失望，是因为先有了希望。The reason why people get disappointed is because of their wish.

8、绘画没有给我带来金钱、美女、鲜花……却得到了一份心境，结交了一群有趣人，喝上了几杯无忧茶。有时候“相对而语，坐穷四野”，有时候“偷得浮生半日闲”，这样的日子真惬意！Painting brings me no money, nor beautiful women and flowers. I did not care about all these, as I have obtained a state of mind: meeting a few interesting people, drinking a few glasses of tea to lift my woeeies. Such kind of life is a really good.

9、“境由心造”，“无住生心”，以至无垠世界，我知道我的艺术之路还很长很长。"Environment created by the heart".I know by heart that their’s still along way ahead of me. I am pleased that I have maintained a share of sincerity and goodness.

10、上善若水，我唯一感到欣慰的是我还保持着那份真诚和善良。

Highest level of good deeds like the character of water that moisture everything but don't disput fame.The only thing I am pleased that I still keep that honesty andKind-hearted

11、我感谢孤独和痛苦，贫穷和无奈，因为他们在考验我，成就我。I thank the loneliness and pain, poverty and helplessness, because they can test my peseverence, and make me feel accomplished.
