介绍（中）	孙国廷的《书法谱》（687）指出，书法揭示了作家的性格和情感。很少有作品能像北宋晚期著名书法家米芾的这幅手卷那样清楚地表明这一原则。Mi写的《在吴江上航行》是用一只悬空的手臂，用肘部而不是手腕工作。他的目的不是塑造完美的人物；相反，他将自己的写作交给了画笔的力量，赋予了独特的动作自由支配权，为了表现力而使人物崩溃和扭曲。苏轼（1036–1101）将米芾的作品比作"一阵风中的帆船，或一匹投入战斗的战马"。传统上，书法在中国比绘画更受推崇。20世纪50年代，当约翰·克劳福德开始收藏它时，大多数美国学者都不知道它的重要性，许多克劳福德作品的真实性也受到了质疑。如今，这些作品被视为国宝，大都会博物馆是西方唯一一家能够展示这种典型中国艺术形式的主要博物馆。
介绍（英）	Sun Guoting's Manual on Calligraphy (687) states that calligraphy reveals the character and emotions of the writer. Few works demonstrate this principle as clearly as this handscroll by Mi Fu, the leading calligrapher of late Northern Song. Mi wrote Sailing on the Wu River with a suspended arm, working from the elbow rather than the wrist. It was not his aim to form perfect characters; instead, he entrusted his writing to the force of the brush, giving free reign to idiosyncratic movements, collapsing and distorting the characters for the sake of expressiveness. Su Shi (1036–1101) likened Mi's writing to "a sailboat in a gust of wind, or a warhorse charging into battle." Traditionally, calligraphy has been more highly esteemed in China than painting. In the 1950s when John Crawford began collecting it, most American scholars were unaware of its importance and the authenticity of many Crawford pieces was questioned. Today, these works are regarded as national treasures and the Metropolitan is the only leading museum in the West able to present major examples of this quintessential Chinese art form.
