Passage 2(2025·无锡市外国语学校一模)
For thousands of years, the Chinese people have had a deep respect for Long, the Chinese dragon. If you travel around China, you'll find images(画像) of dragons almost everywhere, especially in ancient palaces and temples. Some of them are more than 3,500 years old.
Countless Chinese artists have tried their hand at painting the dragon. One of them was Chen Rong,
a great painter in the Southern Song Dynasty. He is widely considered as the best of the dragon painters. His *Nine Dragons* has been praised as one of the greatest paintings of the Chinese dragon.
Chen was born in Fujian in 1200. He once served as the mayor(太守) of Putian(莆田) in his home province. He also worked for the government in Hangzhou at one point. His political career wasn't very successful. However, he was widely respected for his talent in poetry, calligraphy and painting.
According to historical records, Chen usually painted after drinking a lot of wine. After getting drunk, he would shout, tear off his scarf, dip(浸) it in ink and spill(洒出) the ink madly on xuanzhi. After that, the painter would use brushes to paint some details to finish his work. Chen's inscription(题词) on *Nine Dragons* shows that he created it when he was completely drunk.
Nine Dragons* shows nine energetic dragons rolling, swimming and dancing among clouds, mist, waves, fires and cliffs. There are both crazy drops of ink and very fine lines. They show both the painter's feeling of great disappointment with his life and his great skills in brush work.
Nine Dragons* was once treasured at court(宫廷). A later inscription by the Qianlong Emperor praised it highly. It's said that the emperor liked the painting so much that he ordered a court painter to make a copy of it.
1. In which dynasty was Chen Rong born?
2. According to the article, what was Chen widely respected for?
3. What was special about Chen Rong when he created *Nine Dragons*?
4. What did the Qianlong Emperor think of *Nine Dragons*?
5. Would you like to go to see *Nine Dragons* in person? Why or why not?
