original:
The cloud is the great article of heaven and earth, for the mountains and rivers are splendid, like galloping horses, hitting rocks with sound, and the momentum of clouds is like this. The ancients drew clouds, and there were two secret methods:
A place where a thousand rocks and ravines of mountains and rivers are too busy, but it is idle with clouds. Green and green into the sky, sloppy and white practice horizontal dragging, layers of locks broken, up the ridge clouds open, bun green and reddened, such as the Wen family's so-called busy idleness, but the reader is fascinated by the five colors.
One is a hill and a ravine of the landscape, and the intention is too idle, but it is busy with the clouds. The water is exhausted, the mountains are poor, the layers are rising, steep as the sea, and the illusion is layered, such as the so-called poetry of the Wen family to invite guests, in order to increase the literary momentum.
Yu painted the laws of landscape and water, and the temple was clouded, and the ancients said that the cloud was the sum of mountains and rivers, and also saw that in the void and vastness, there was the infinite mountain and water method. The old mountain is called "Cloud Mountain", and the water is called "Cloud Water".
Translation:
The cloud is the great article of heaven and earth, the splendid embroidery covered by the mountains and rivers, the rapid movement is like a galloping horse, the impact of the stone seems to be able to make a sound, and the momentum of the cloud is so magnificent. The ancients drew clouds, and there were two secret methods:
First, in the place where the thousands of rocks and valleys are tightly distributed in landscape paintings, the clouds are painted to show a leisurely posture. The green mountain peaks plunged straight into the sky, suddenly like practicing white clouds floating horizontally, locking off the peaks layer by layer, and the clouds and mist of the mountains above spread out, like the peaks of the blue hair buns being revealed again, which is like the literati saying that they are busy and idle, but they make the viewers confused.
First, in landscape painting, there is a simple hill and a ravine, and where the artistic conception is too leisurely, it is painted with clouds to fill the busyness. The water is exhausted, the layers of clouds rise, steep as the waves of the sea, and the changes are like layers of mountains, just like the literati said that quoting poems to invite guests, in order to enhance the momentum of the article.
I list many ways to paint landscapes, but I put the method of painting clouds in the end, because the ancients said that clouds are the general point of mountains and rivers, that is, in the void and vastness, there are infinite mountains hidden in the water of the water. Therefore, the mountain is called "Cloud Mountain" and the water is called "Cloud Water".
