老髯奚官奇且顾，前身作马通马语。
后有八匹饮且行，微流赴吻若有声。
前者既济出林鹤，后者欲涉鹤俯啄。
最后一匹马中龙，不嘶不动尾摇风。

Role C, D, E, F: visitors 【express your feelings and comments about this painting】
A leading horse painter of the Tang dynasty, Han Gan was known for capturing not only the likeness of a horse but also its spirit. This painting, the most famous work attributed to(归属于) the artist, is a portrait of a charger（战马） of Emperor Xuanzong (r. 712–56). With its burning eye, flaring nostrils, and dancing hoofs, the fiery-tempered horse epitomizes （成为…的典范）Chinese myths about Central Asian "celestial steeds"（天马） that "sweated blood"（血汗） and were actually dragons in disguise（伪装）. The seals and inscriptions（题词） added to the painting and its borders by later owners and appreciators are a distinctive feature of Chinese collecting and connoisseurship（鉴赏）. The addition of more than one thousand years of seals and comments offers a vivid testimony（证据） of the work's transmission（传播） and its impact on later generations.
