介绍（中）	在元朝早期，当执政的蒙古人限制中国学者官员的雇用时，马夫和马的主题——与传说中的伯乐人物有关，他判断马匹的能力已成为招募有能力的政府官员的隐喻——成为正确使用学术人才的象征性呼吁。赵孟頫为高级监察专员飞清画了这幅画，飞清可能是政府招聘人员。1296年初，赵紫阳退出公职后不久被处决，这位精心渲染的新郎可能是一幅自画像。构图的惊人几何形状由马和马夫形象中的一系列突出弧线组成，并由水平的地面线和垂直铭文构成，似乎是用指南针和正方形构建的。中文术语"指南针广场"（guiju）的意思是"监管"或"秩序"。因此，这幅画也可以被解读为善政的隐喻，进而衡量艺术家的道德正直。
介绍（英）	In the early Yuan period, when the ruling Mongols curtailed the employment of Chinese scholar-officials, the theme of the groom and horse-one associated with the legendary figure of Bole, whose ability to judge horses had become a metaphor for the recruitment of able government officials-became a symbolic plea for the proper use of scholarly talent. Zhao Mengfu painted this work for the high-ranking Surveillance Commissioner Feiqing, who may have been a government recruiter. Executed in early 1296, shortly after Zhao withdrew from civil service, the sensitively rendered groom may be a self-portrait. The striking geometry of the composition, made up of a series of prominent arcs in the figures of the horse and groom, and framed by the level ground line and vertical inscription, appears to have been constructed with a compass and square. The Chinese term "compass-square" (guiju) means "regulation" or "order." Thus, the painting may also be read as a metaphor for good government and, by extension, a measure of the artist's moral rectitude.
