介绍（中）	这幅手卷是谢欢的两幅类似作品之一，这两幅作品记录了1437年4月6日九位学者在北京的聚会。最初的作品是为晚会主持人杨荣（1371-1440）准备的，他在第一组坐姿中穿着红色长袍，现藏于镇江市博物馆。这幅画很可能是为坐在杨蓉旁边、身穿蓝色长袍的高级客人杨士奇（1365-1444）所作，是谢欢的一位同事所作的浓缩版。尽管主题明显不正规，但这幅画是精心制作的，以强调官员的权力、声望和修养。这些人的长袍和正式姿势突显了他们职位的尊严，他们的政治地位因其在组成中的位置而不同。那些地位最高的人，杨士奇和杨荣，是构成的中心；等级较低的客人更靠近卷轴的外围。这些人周围的古董和学术用具表明了他们的文学成就和审美眼光画作后面是参与者为纪念聚会而创作的诗歌，以杨士奇用庄严的隶书题写的序言开始，杨士奇是当时最年长的参与者和最高级别的政府官员。清代官员、后来的卷轴所有者翁同和（1830–1904）在画前的支架上题写了九位官员的名单。
介绍（英）	This handscroll is one of two similar compositions attributed to Xie Huan that document a gathering of nine scholar-officials in Beijing on April 6, 1437. The original composition, prepared for the party's host, Yang Rong (1371–1440), who is depicted wearing a red robe in the first group of seated figures, is now in the Zhenjiang Municipal Museum. This painting, probably made for the senior guest, Yang Shiqi (1365–1444), who is seated in a blue robe next to Yang Rong, is a condensed version executed by one of Xie Huan's associates. In spite of the apparent informality of the subject, the painting is carefully crafted to emphasize the power, prestige, and cultivation of the officials. The men's substantial robes and formal poses underscore the dignity of their positions, and their political ranks are distinguished by their placement in the composition. Those of the greatest status, Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong, are at the center of the composition; guests of lower rank are closer to the periphery of the scroll. The antiques and scholarly paraphernalia surrounding the men suggest their literary accomplishments and aesthetic discernment. Following the painting are poems composed by the participants to commemorate the gathering, beginning with a preface inscribed in a dignified clerical script by Yang Shiqi, the oldest participant and the highest-ranking government official of his day. The Qing official and later owner of the scroll Weng Tonghe (1830–1904) inscribed the mounting in front of the painting with a listing of the nine officials.
