介绍（中）	在中国浙江省天台山上的天然石桥上，一头母狮将幼崽扔下悬崖，看看哪只幼崽会坚持不懈地爬回她身边，从而在生活中取得成功。人们经常将艺术家或教师以类似的方式测试学生进行类比。天台山是佛教天台宗的所在地，也是道教修行的圣地。在中国和日本一样，山长期以来一直被视为天地之间的中介，神仙和人类可以在这里相遇。作为江户绘画的"怪人"之一，Soga Shōhaku经常以夸张，不安分的笔触以及古怪的主题为特色。这幅悬挂的卷轴展示了昭白的创作巅峰时期;他将一个很少被描绘的主题转化为一部作品，将流畅、有纪律的笔触与戏剧性的构图和奇异的图像相结合。
介绍（英）	In this fantastical scene at the natural stone bridge on Mount Tiantai, in China’s Zhejiang province, a mother lion throws cubs over the cliff to see which will persevere to succeed in life by climbing back to her. Analogies are often made to artists or teachers testing pupils in similar ways. Mount Tiantai, home to the Tiantai sect of Buddhism, is also a sacred site for Daoist practice. In China as in Japan, mountains were long regarded as intermediary places between heaven and earth, where immortals and humans could meet. One of the “eccentrics” of Edo painting, Soga Shōhaku often featured exaggerated, restless brushwork as well as outlandish subject matter. This hanging scroll shows Shōhaku at the height of his creativity; he transforms a rarely depicted theme into a work that combines fluid, disciplined brushwork with dramatic composition and bizarre imagery.
