What an amazing horse! Even though more than a thousand years have passed, we can still feel the power within its burning eyes, orderly teeth and kicking hooves. Night-Shining White, now kept in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is regarded as one of the most important horse paintings in the history of Chinese art. Its artist, Han Gan, is known for his drawing skills.
Born into a poor family in the early Tang Dynasty, the young Han Gan had to help support his family by working in a local wine shop. His talent(才能) in art was discovered by accident when he was sent to the poet Wang Wei's house to co llect payment for some wine. While waiting at the gate, Han Gan used a stick(木棍) to draw pictures on the ground and was seen by the poet. Wang Wei decided to help the young man to study painting. Because of Han's natural talent and years of hard work, he was finally chosen to work for Emperor Xuanzong.
The Tang emperors were crazy about horses. At that time, the most common way to study horse painting was to copy the works of other painters. Han Gan's way, however, was different — he studied the animal itself. He often visited the royal stables(马厩) and even lived with the stable workers for some time. The horses, whether resting or moving, offered him a lot of ideas. The more time he spent studying these horses, the more his understanding of them grew. Day by day, Han Gan painted the horses, showing every de tail that he saw with his own eyes.
Those who saw Han Gan's horse paintings were all surprised at his skills, saying that his horses could gallop(疾驰) off the paper. Even Su Shi, the famous poet of the Song Dynasty. expressed his admiration for Han Gan as one of the best horse painters with the words, "The horses painted by Han Gan are real horses. "

ChatGPT to education: good or bad?
Recently, the AI chatbot(聊天机器人) ChatGPT has become a hot topic. Many people, with the experience of communicating with it, would be deeply attracted(吸引) by the robot. However, when it comes to education, some people hold different opinions about whether ChatGPT is offering help or making things worse.
| In my opinion, ChatGPT has helped me in many ways, from giving cooking tips to writing emails, but I' ve never tried to use it in my education. I do agree that it can collect enough information for us, but we sometimes are not sure whether the information is correet. Also, depending on it to do our homework will just make us stop thinking. |
| AI chatbots like ChatGPT can provide 24/7 support and immediate feedback(及时回馈). In addition, by solving repetitive tasks,AI chatbots can free up students' time to help them work on higher-value work. So I think the best way is to show them how to use chatGPT, rather than just banning(禁止) it or seeing it as an easy way to copy homework. |
| I think ChatGPT is terrible for education. This is because it's powerful enough to allow lazy and hardworking people to achieve the same level of excellence with the same level of education. This makes students who should work hard become lazy. |
| Whether ChatGPT is good or bad for education, I think it all depends on how students use it. If students use it to help them better understand certain topics that teachers may, not explain in detail in class, I think it can really help their learning. However, if ChatGPT is simply used for homework or cheating on exams,I think it will do no good. |
