Fan Kuan was one of the greatest landscape painters of the Song dynasty. Fan was so good at painting that young artists always asked him to teach them to paint. “You must study with a greater master than me,” Fan replied. “Who is he? Where can we find him?” they asked curiously. /ˈdɪnəsti/ n. 王朝，朝代 /ˈkjʊərɪəsli/ adv. 好奇地 Fan replied with a smile, “He is called Nature. He lives all around you.” Fan painted with the idea of being in harmony with nature. He believed that if you wanted to understand nature, you had to touch it, smell it and listen to it. That was what he always did. He lived in mountains and forests, and watched the seasons change. However, many people thought he was strange.

Read the story. /skeəd/ adj. 害怕的 The farmer relaxed when he was certain this strange man was not a danger. He invited Fan to his home and gave him something to eat. Fan, in return, painted a picture for the farmer. Everything in the picture, the farmer, the trees and the mountains, was so vivid that the farmer was shocked. He wondered how Fan had done it. Fan told him that it was a gift from the mountains.

Fan answered that mountains or forests, east or west, all could be his home. Read the story. General understanding What made Fan Kuan an excellent landscape painter? Fan Kuan’s excellence came from his deep connection with nature. He believed in studying and harmonizing with it, spending years living in mountains and forests to observe seasons, touch, smell, and listen to the natural world.

Further thinking While some might see him as strange due to his solitary life in the wilds (sleeping under rocks, wandering foggy paths), his “strangeness” reflected his dedication to art. His unconventional choices—like prioritizing nature over society—were rooted in a profound passion for understanding and depicting the world authentically. To artists, this might seem admirable rather than odd. 3. What have you learned about art from the story of Fan Kuan? Further thinking The story teaches that true artistry arises from direct experience and humility. Fan Kuan viewed nature as his greatest teacher, emphasizing observation, patience, and harmony.
