27、Ink wash painting (水墨画) is an old and beautiful Chinese art. This special drawing technique is created with a brush, dipped into ink, then in water before being painted onto rice paper or silk. As you can see, the paintings are created just in black and white. It is said that the technique was invented by an artist named Wang Wei.
Ink wash paintings often feature trees, flowers, landscapes, animals, birds and people. Also, they often go with Chinese poems. The painting style does not put high importance on a precise description of a real scene or object. They are often improvised (即兴的) works from beautiful scenery (风景). Therefore, this type of painting is hard to copy. Today there are many new Chinese artists that use the traditional Chinese ink wash technique to draw new sceneries and pictures.
The first ink wash animation (动画) in China came out in 1960. It’s called Little Tadpole Looking for Mummy. All the animals, plants and rocks in the film are drawn with ink and brush. The film is about 15 minutes long. But it took lots of work. Without computers, the artists had to draw everything by hand. One second of animation needs 24 pictures! Little Tadpole Looking for Mummy won prizes at home and abroad. From then on, ink wash painting and animation becomes more popular in China. People in the world get to know more about ink wash since then!

A proverb is a short, well-known saying that expresses a common truth or belief. Proverbs are popular around the world. Many proverbs give advice about how to live. Some proverbs are hundreds of years old, but they are still used today.
My daughter is very short. She would like to be taller. But I tell her that good things come in small packages, The s【1】 of something is not always important. Some valuable things are very small, like diamonds and other jewels. But I also tell my children that all that glitters is not old. Do not be f【2】by appearances. Something may look valuable, but may not really be valuable. Also, I tell them not to judge a book by its cover. You should not judge something only by its appearance.
Another proverb is that do not bite o【3】 more than you can chew. This means do not try to do more than you are able to do.
Sometimes I tell my children to cooperate to solve a problem. After all, two heads are better than one. Two people working together can get better r【4】, But another proverb says too many cooks spoil the broth. If too many people try to do something. then the job will not be done well.

Optimists might say that every cloud has a silver lining. They can find something good even in a bad s【5】. other people are both pessimists and optimists.
