介绍（中）	鹤是中国社会最喜欢的形象，在皇家园林和精致的学术静修中也很熟悉，也被称为道教神仙的载体。他们的长寿和对单身伴侣的忠诚使他们成为长寿和忠诚的象征。在这里，一只满洲鹤，以其独特的红色额头识别，漫步在宫殿花园的一角。这只鸟停在中间，转过头来，刚刚被一根竹枝吓了一跳，竹枝擦过它的尾羽。这幅画是元末或明朝早期为数不多的大型鸟类图像之一，其主题来自徽宗皇帝（1100-25 年在位）的作品，他画了一组六只不同姿势的鹤。扭曲的竹子复杂的分支结构和鸟羽毛的复杂细节 - 羽毛的每一根细丝都经过精心描绘 - 揭示了一定程度的自然主义描述，早于明代宫廷画家卞文金（约1354-1428）创作的更传统的鹤图像。
介绍（英）	A favorite image in Chinese society and a familiar presence in imperial gardens as well as refined scholarly retreats, cranes were also renowned as the vehicles of Daoist immortals. Their long life span and loyalty to a single mate made them symbols of longevity and faithfulness. Here, a Manchurian crane, identified by its distinctive red forehead, strolls through a corner of the palace garden. Stopping in midstride and turning its head, the bird has just been startled by a branch of bamboo that has brushed against its tail feathers. One of only a handful of such large-scale images of birds to survive from the late Yuan or early Ming dynasty, this painting derives its subject from a composition by the emperor Huizong (r. 1100–25), who painted a set of six cranes in different poses. The complex branch structure of the twisting bamboo and the intricate detail of the bird's plumage—with every filament of the feathers carefully delineated—reveal a level of naturalistic description that predates the more conventionalized images of cranes created by the Ming court painter Bian Wenjin (ca. 1354–1428).
