介绍（中）	天台山自四世纪被发现以来一直是避难所，是佛教圣人的传奇住所。它的天然石桥是这个世界与仙人天堂之间的传说连接点。戴本霄的明朝忠臣父亲在与清军的战斗中受伤后自杀，他把注意力集中在山上的松树上。松树象征着逆境中的生存，突然受到威胁，反映了艺术家对自己在一个感到疏远的世界中寻找精神避难所的能力的不确定性：天台山奇形怪状的松树已被前一时期的艺术家描绘过......我决定根据自己的想象力来描绘这个主题。我最近听说，这些奇怪的松树大多遭遇了灭绝的悲惨命运。似乎天空、大地、山、河的自然奇观一旦暴露在尘土飞扬的世界的严密审视之下，就不会持续太久。这确实令人惋惜。道恩·何·德尔班科，译者，
介绍（英）	A refuge since its discovery in the fourth century, Mount Tiantai is a legendary dwelling place of Buddhist holy men; its natural stone bridge is a fabled point of connection between this world and the paradise of the immortals. Dai Benxiao, whose Ming-loyalist father committed suicide after being injured in a battle against Qing forces, focuses here on the mountain's pines. Symbolic of survival in times of adversity, the pines, having been suddenly threatened, reflect the artist's uncertainty about his ability to find spiritual sanctuary in a world from which he feels alienated: The strangely shaped pine trees of Mount Tiantai have been depicted by artists of previous periods. . . . I have decided to portray this theme, drawing upon my own imagination. I have heard recently that most of these strange pines have met the sad fate of extinction. It seems that once the natural wonders of the sky, earth, mountains, and rivers are exposed to the intimate scrutiny of the dusty world, they do not last long. This is indeed cause for lamentation.
