介绍（中）	这幅画描绘了一位忠诚的官员向皇帝提出抗议，委托这幅画是为了增强这位君主作为一位公正统治者的形象，他欢迎坦率的批评，并鼓励官员们诚实的告诫。现实往往恰恰相反这幅色彩斑斓的大挂轴上有宫廷画家刘军的签名，刘军最终获得了刺绣制服卫队总司令的荣誉头衔，这证明了在明朝宫廷的赞助下，宋代叙事艺术学术传统的延续。但是，尽管题材和人物风格都基于宋式，但《向皇帝抗议》呈现出一种构图密度和模式化，这是15世纪末明代书院作品的典型。宋代宫廷绘画强调叙事内容和为行动创造可信的空间框架；明代绘画强调象征性内容。刘军的主要目标不再是讲述一个具体的故事，也不再是准确描述自然；相反，它是通过充满象征意义的图像词汇传达信息。
介绍（英）	Depicting a loyal official remonstrating with the emperor, this painting was commissioned to enhance the image of the sovereign as a just ruler who welcomed frank criticism and encouraged honest admonitions from his officials. The reality was often quite the opposite. Bearing the signature of Liu Jun, a court painter who eventually attained the honorary rank of Commander in Chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, this large colorful hanging scroll testifies to the continuation of the Song academic tradition of narrative art under the sponsorship of the Ming court. But while both the subject matter and figure style are based on Song models, Remonstrating with the Emperor exhibits a compositional density and schematization that typify works of the Ming academy at the end of the fifteenth century. Song court paintings emphasize narrative content and the creation of a believable spatial framework for the action; Ming paintings emphasize symbolic content. Liu Jun's main objective is no longer the recounting of a specific story or the achievement of an accurate description of nature; rather, it is the communication of a message through a vocabulary of images imbued with symbolic meaning.
