山与云的彼端，有一处世外桃源，没有战争、没有贪官、没有饥饿、没有贫寒。这里芳草鲜美，落英缤纷，是避世的乐园。

There’s a wonderland far over the misty mountains where there are no wars, no corruption, no hunger and cold, where the beautifully grassy ground is covered with its rose petals.

曾经，陶渊明的《桃花源记》，用最简单、最浅显易懂的语言和形式，让我们进入一个神秘的精神乐园。寥寥数百字，勾勒出一幅现实与梦想交织的画卷。现在，动画版《桃花源记》用传统中国水墨画表达出了桃花源里宁静致远、诗情画意的艺术境界。

The Peach Colony of Tao Yuanming takes us into a secret gargen that blends the dreams with reality by the concise language. Now the animation of Peach Colony has been presented to show a picturesque landscape of the fairyland.

《桃花源记》是中国三维水墨动画，三维技术和水墨技法相结合，继承并发扬了传统水墨动画，将原有的深厚文化底蕴以新的艺术形式生动的展现在世人面前。

The animation version of Peach Colony combines the three-dimentional technology with the ink-wash technology, which has vividly presented the profound culture in a newly artistic method.

本片以陶渊明古文为创作蓝本，将水墨、皮影、剪纸等传统元素和三维手法进行无缝衔接。水墨画法将桃花源的意境表现的淋漓尽致，片中的渔人、山石、树木、花草、屋舍，皆呈现出北宋时期“萧疏山水”的风格。

It refers to the original of Tao’s text and perfectly combines the elements of Chinese ink, puppet play, and paper-cut, which fully represents the artistic conception and the style of desolate landscape in Dynasty Song.

本片又将工笔、写意、国画和传统美术巧妙的结合在一起。渔人打渔时烟雨明晦的水光山色，营造出的萧瑟意境给人以压抑、暗黑的心理感受。入桃花源后，用色鲜艳、丰富多彩给人以美好、阳光、宁静的心理感受。原来，惟有水墨动画才能诠释出《桃花源记》的意境，每一处都彰显着中国画的“浓淡疏密”。

This animation gets a perfect balance among the claborate-style painting, the brushwork painting, and the traditional Chinese painting, which gives us the depressing feeling when the fisherman fishing in the misty day and the brightly peaceful feeling when going into the peach colony. Only the ink-wash animation can fully express the conception of the fairyland and present the density lines of the image.

当下，充斥我们眼球的动画，几乎都是模仿国外的动画作品，这些动画，没有中国味，中国风。60年代，以传统写意水墨画形式的水墨动画作品佳作频出，那种意境深远、笔墨情绪浓郁的民族气息一直影响到90年代。《牧笛》、《小蝌蚪找妈妈》、《过猴山》、《山水情》等国产经典水墨动画，就像我们心中的桃花源，世间少有，意境悠远。

At present, all the animation we are able to get access are the exotic ones which have no Chinese conception at all. In 1960s, there emerged a lot of good works with strong ethnic flavor which had a longlasting influence to 1990s. The classical animations such as reed pipe, Baby Tadpoles Look for Their Mother, Across Monkey Mountain, and Feelings of Mountains and Watersare the fairyland deep in our heart which will never be repeated.
