介绍（中）	夏勇把建筑效果图的"条条框框"（街画）手法的专业性带到了技术控制的新高度。与他松散描述的景观元素形成鲜明对比的是，夏的建筑细致细致。这种对微小尺度的预先定义在艺术家的微观铭文中也很明显，该铭文转录了著名北宋学者苏澈（1039-1112）的文章《黄阁狂想曲》，苏澈是诗人苏轼（1037-1101）的弟弟苏澈的铭文描述了1077年，在黄河堤防突然决堤后，江苏北部的徐州周围地区被洪水淹没。时任苏州太守的苏，不知疲倦地把这座城市从灾难中拯救出来。洪水退去，城墙修复后，黄亭为纪念他而建。三个世纪后的1344年，黄河再次泛滥，造成了广泛的破坏。夏勇提到了三个世纪前发生的一场洪水，并通过将苏的文字写得如此微小以至于几乎没有人会真正阅读来掩盖他真正的信息，间接地表明了他对洪水造成的重大社会变化的认识，这场洪水将在不到二十年后导致元朝的灭亡。
介绍（英）	Xia Yong carried the specialty of architectural renderings in the "ruled-line" (jiehua) manner to new heights of technical control. In contrast to his loosely described landscape elements, Xia's buildings are densely detailed and meticulously drawn. This predeliction for minute scale is also evident in the artist's microscopic inscription, which transcribes "A Rhapsody on the Yellow Pavilion," an essay by the famous Northern Song scholar Su Che (1039–1112), the younger brother of the poet Su Shi (1037–1101). Su Che's inscription describes how the region around Xuzhou, in northern Jiangsu, was flooded in 1077, following a sudden break in the dikes of the Yellow River. Su Shi, then a prefect there, worked indefatigably to rescue the city from disaster. After the flood subsided and the city walls were repaired, the Yellow Pavilion was dedicated in his honor. Three centuries later, in 1344, the Yellow River flooded again, causing widespread destruction. By referring to a flood that occurred three centuries earlier—and concealing his real message by writing Su's text in a script so minute that few would actually have read it—Xia Yong obliquely signaled his awareness of the momentous social changes caused by the flood, which would lead to the downfall of the Yuan dynasty less than twenty years later.
