中英雙語話史記 第93期:五代十國文化
Five Dynasties and Ten States
五代十國文化Regardless of the chaos which prevailed during this period, it was important in terms of Chinese culture.
除去這個時代的混亂紛爭，五代十國其實是中國文化的一個重要時期。
1. Printing
1、繪畫Facilitated by the advancements made in printing and despite the political changes of the period，
儘管這個時期政治格局不斷變化，但是受到繪畫上進步的促進，there remained a high regard for cultural tradition.
五代十國對於文化傳統極爲尊敬。During the period 932 to 953 the first of the Nine Confucian Classics was published by the Imperial Academy.
932至953年間，《九經》的第一部由翰林院出版。This became the prototype for all subsequent editions.
這版書是之後所有版本的原型。
2. Art
2、藝術The noteworthy developments in the field of art during this time were twofold.
這個時期藝術上的發展有兩個值得一提的方面。The first was the continued refinement of the techniques used in the production of porcelain.
其一是陶瓷製造工藝的不斷改進。The translucent porcelain was used throughout China and was widely sought abroad, thus becoming a valuable export.
透明瓷在整個中國得到試用並被海外廣泛探尋，它因此成爲了一個非常珍貴的出口商品。The second development was in painting.
第二項發展就是繪畫。A distinctive style known as Wu-tai painting “monumental ink landscapes” dominated.
一種與衆不同的繪畫風格霧態“水墨山水畫”成爲了主流。This was inspired by the Taoist notion that mountains were essentially sacred pillars linking heaven and earth.
這種繪畫方式受道家理念的啓發，道家認爲山川本質上是連接上天和人間的神聖的支柱。Artists, using black ink on silk, depicted the natural world as the source of harmony and enlightenment.
藝術家運用水墨絹本將自然世界描繪成和諧與教化的來源。Gu Hongzhong's painting the “Evening Feasting held by Han Xizai” is a highly revered work of this period.
顧閎中的《韓熙載夜宴圖》是這個時期受到高度尊崇的作品。
