Nymph of the Luo River
《洛神赋图》
Artist and writer Gu Kaizhi (ca. 344–406) painted Nymph of the Luo Riveron a long silk scroll during the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317–420). The narrative scroll, from which four copies dating to the Song Dynasty (960–1279) survived (now exhibited in Beijing, Liaoning and Washington), illustrates the poemOde to the Nymph of the Luo River,written by Cao Zhi (192–232).
《洛神赋图》为东晋（317—420）画家和诗人顾恺之（约344—406）所作，绢本，长卷。这幅叙事画卷乃据曹植（192—232）的《洛神赋》而作。有四件宋（960—1279）摹本传世，分别藏于北京、辽宁省和华盛顿。

Noble Ladies in Tang Dynasty
《唐宫仕女图》
Noble Ladies in Tang Dynastyare a serial of paintings drawn by Zhang Xuan (713–755) and Zhou Fang (ca. 730–800), two of the most influential figure painters of the Tang Dynasty, when the paintings of noble ladies became very popular.
《唐宫仕女图》是张萱（713—755）、周昉（约730—800）所绘的一组画。二人为唐代人物画名家，当时仕女画风行。
The paintings depict the leisurely, lonely and peaceful life of the ladies at court, who are shown to be beautiful, dignified and graceful. Four most-renowned paintings in the serial are Portrait of Lady of Guo Going Sightseeing in Spring(by Zhang Xuan),Court Ladies Preparing Silk(by Zhang Xuan),Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers(by Zhou Fang),Court Ladies Swinging Fans(by Zhou Fang).
此画描绘了宫廷仕女闲静寥落的生活，人物优美、典雅、端庄。这组画中最著名的四幅作品是张萱所作《虢国夫人游春图》、《捣练图》以及周昉所作《簪花仕女图》、《挥扇仕女图》。
Zhang Xuan used fine brushwork to make paintings of people and was especially good at painting noble ladies, infants and pommel horses. Zhou Fang was influenced by the pure and detailed style of the Jin Dynasty artist Gu Kaizhi, and his portrayals of court ladies are characterized by round faces and plump figures.张萱以工笔人物写生见长，尤其擅绘仕女、婴儿和鞍马。受顾恺之影响，周昉的画风不求藻饰，注重细节，仕女造型以面容圆润、体态丰腴为主要特征。
The paintings are now kept in several museums around China.这组画现藏于国内几家博物馆。
