There have been many great painters in the rich history of Chinese art. Here are four of the greatest painters

from China.

Li Cheng (919—967, Five Dynasties and early Song Dynasty)

Li Cheng contributed greatly to one of the golden ages of landscape paintings in world history. During his time,

he was considered the best landscape painter ever. He is remembered especially for the winter landscapes he

created and for simple compositions of tall, old evergreens set against a dry landscape. Several of his paintings are

in thin ink which gives them a foggy appearance.

Fan Kuan (990—1020 , Song Dynasty)

Fan Kuan began his career by modeling Li Cheng's work but later created his own style, claiming that the only

true teacher was nature. His finest workTravelers among Mountains and Streamsis a masterpiece of landscape

painting and many future artists turned to it for inspiration.

Qi Baishi (1864-1957)

One of the greatest contemporary Chinese painters, Qi Baishi is known for not being influenced by Western

styles like most painters of his time. He can be considered as the last great traditional painter of China. He painted

almost everything from insects to landscapes. He is regarded highly in Chinese art for the freshness that he

brought to the familiar types of birds and flowers, insects and grass.

Wu Guanzhong (1919—2010)

Widely considered as the founder of modern Chinese painting , Wu Guanzhong has painted various aspects

of China, like its architecture, plants, animals, people and landscapes. Wu went on to combine Western and

Chinese styles to create a unique form of modem art. In 1992, he became the first living Chinese artist whose work

was exhibited at the British Museum.

Tofight for the conservation of forest ecosystem, several ecologists including Daniel Janzen convinced Del Oro,

an orange juice producer, to donate part of their forestland to a national park. In return, Del Oro was allowed to

throw large amounts of waste in the form of orangepeels(皮) on a 3-hectare piece of land within the national park

at no cost. Dealing with tons of leftover peels usually involved burning them or paying to have them poured into a

landfill, so the proposal was very attractive.

But a year later, another juice company challenged the deal in court, arguing that their competitor was

"polluting a national park". They ended up winning, and the deal between Del Oro and the national park fell

through.

Then in 2013, while discussing possible research avenues（途径，手段）with Timothy Treuer, Daniel Janzen

mentioned the orange story. Feeling interested, Treuer decided to stop by that piece of land that had been

covered with fruit waste 15 years earlier. What he found shocked him.

"While I would walk over exposed rock and dead grass in the nearby fields, I'd have to climb through

undergrowth and cut paths through walls ofvines(藤) in the orange peel site itself," said Timothy Treuer.

Treuer and his team spent months picking upsamples(样品), analyzing and comparing them. They found

great differences between the areas covered with orange peels and those that were not. The area withorange

waste had richer soil.

The effect that the orange peels had on the land is probably not that surprising to people familiar

withcomposting(施肥), but what is really shocking is that a judge actually thought the waste of orange "mined" a national parkand stopped it from going forward. Now that Timothy Treuer's study has received worldwide

attention, this type of "ruining" is being seriously considered as a way of bringing forests back to life.

4. What did Del Oro usually do with orange peels?

A. Add them to fuel. B. Feed them to animals.

C. Burn or bury them. D. Make them into cakes.

5. What can we know about the deal between Del Oro and the national park?

A. It lasted 15 years. B. It was signed by Treuer.

C. It was made in about 1998. D. It was broken by Del Oro.
