介绍（中）	1679年，作者李渔为有抱负的风景画家出版了一本入门书，名为《芥子园画谱》，他委托多才多艺的画家王盖为插图提供设计。第一版以风景画树木、岩石和人物的组成部分为特色，并说明如何绘制每种不同类型的作品。它还包括两卷古老大师风格的风景画，向读者展示如何将所学转化为自己具有历史意识的作品该手册将研究老大师风格的时尚传播到了产生这种做法的精英圈子之外，并成为不仅在中国，而且在韩国和日本使用最广泛的绘画入门。随后的版本增加了花朵作为主题，并扩展了人物部分。它至今仍在世界各地使用。
介绍（英）	In 1679, the author Li Yu published a primer for aspiring landscape painters called the Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting, and he commissioned the versatile painter Wang Gai to provide designs for the illustrations. The first edition features volumes on the components of landscape painting—trees, rocks, and human figures—with instructions on how to draw different types of each. It also includes two volumes of landscapes in the styles of old masters, which show readers how to transform what they have learned into their own historically minded compositions. The manual transmitted the fashion for studying old masters' styles beyond the rarified elite circles that had given rise to the practice, and it went on to become the most widely used introduction to painting not only in China, but in Korea and Japan as well. Subsequent editions added flowers as a subject and expanded sections on human figures. It remains in use today across the world.
