相传从前有一回举行绘画比赛,画题是“踏花归去马蹄香”的诗句。许多画家都从正面着眼,画了满地的落花,再画一个骑马扬鞭的人。但这些画都没有把“香”字传达出来。有一个画家画了一匹马,再在马蹄旁加上几只飞舞的蝴蝶,此外没有别的东西了。大家公认:这幅画是成功的作品。 Legend has it that once held a painting contest, the painting is “tread back to horseshoe incense ” verse. Many painters focus on the front, draw a patchwork of flowers, and draw a man riding a lash. However, none of these paintings convey the word “香”. There was an artist painting a horse, adding a few flying butterflies beside the horseshoe, and nothing else. It is generally accepted that this picture is a successful work.
