介绍（中）	《乘骡子的禅师》以几笔快速的笔触和巧妙的水墨画描绘，体现了禅宗佛教绘画的自由表达方式，它与其说依赖于描述细节，不如说依赖于捕捉艺术家内心的精神专注，以实现生动的描绘。这幅画由著名的禅宗大师吴准题写，传统上被认为是吴准的作品，可能是一位当代禅宗艺术家的作品，沿袭了梁楷（活跃于十三世纪上半叶）的粗略笔触风格吴尊以其智慧和古怪的行为而闻名，他在杭州附近的禅寺青山寺居住时题写了这幅画。在受到理宗（1225-1264年在位）的奖赏后，他在那里定居下来。这位骑手的面部特征——突出的前额、小胡子和稀疏的胡须——与五准本人并无不同。五准本人的正式肖像，由他题词，日期为1238年，现藏于京都的豆腐寺。他简洁的铭文也可能是对自己的自嘲：当雨水使山变暗时，人们误认为骡子是马。
介绍（英）	Painted in a few swift brushstrokes and deftly applied ink washes, Chan Master Riding a Mule exemplifies the freely expressive manner of Chan (Zen, in Japanese) Buddhist painting, which relies less on descriptive detail than on the capturing of spiritual concentration within the artist to achieve a vivid depiction. Inscribed by the noted Chan master Wuzhun, to whom it traditionally has been attributed, the painting is probably the work of a contemporary Chan artist following the sketchy brush style of Liang Kai (active first half of the thirteenth century). Wuzhun, well known for his wisdom as well as for his eccentric behavior, inscribed this painting while he was living at the Qingshansi, a Chan temple near Hangzhou, where he settled after he was rewarded by Emperor Lizong (r. 1225–1264) following an imperial audience. The rider's facial features-prominent forehead, mustache, and wispy beard-are not unlike those of Wuzhun himself, whose formal portrait, with an inscription by him dated 1238, is now in the Tofuku-ji temple in Kyoto. His laconic inscription may also be a self-deprecatory reference to himself: As rain darkens the mountain, One mistakes a mule for a horse.
