介绍（中）	钱选是最早将诗歌、绘画和书法结合在一幅作品中的文人画家之一。在《梨花》中，诗歌和绘画意象完美地相互作用。这位艺术家的诗可以翻译如下：独自一人在阳台栏杆旁，泪滴淋在树枝上，尽管她的脸没有修饰，但她的古老魅力依然存在在一个下雨的夜晚，在锁着的大门后面，她是如何充满悲伤的<在黑暗降临之前，她沐浴在月光的金色波浪中，看起来有多不一样与徽宗（r.1101–25）的《Finches and Bamboo》不同的是，钱选的花枝和它所代表的褪色之美表达了艺术家的个人情感。钱其琛没有客观地描述梨花的身体美，而是画了一条精致的书法线，并用优雅的浅色平面示意图案来营造一种冷静超然的情绪，反映他的精神状态。这首诗的温柔抒情也充分体现在他的书法中，笔触与梨叶慵懒的扭动相呼应。
介绍（英）	Qian Xuan was one of the first scholar-painters to unite poetry, painting, and calligraphy within a single work. In Pear Blossoms a perfect interplay of poetic and pictorial imagery has been achieved. The artist's poem may be translated as follows: All alone by the veranda railing, teardrops drenching the branches, Although her face is unadorned, her old charms remain; Behind the locked gate, on a rainy night, how she is filled with sadness. How differently she looked bathed in golden waves of moonlight, before the darkness fell. Unlike Emperor Huizong's (r. 1101–25) Finches and Bamboo, which demonstrates a commitment to an accurate rendering of nature, Qian Xuan's flowering branch and the fading beauty it represents are expressions of the artist's personal feelings. Rather than rendering an objective description of the physical beauty of pear blossoms, Qian drew in a fine calligraphic line and used flat schematic patterns in elegant pale colors to create a mood of cool detachment, reflective of his state of mind. The tender lyricism of the poem is also fully present in his calligraphy, in which the brushstrokes echo the languidly twisting movement of the pear leaves.
