Welcome to ALO7's Power to Learn! Today's story is Wen Tong’s Bamboo, retold by Evan Peng and narrated by Aaron Smith.
北宋时期,有一位著名的艺术家叫文同,他十分擅长画竹,画出的竹子看上去栩栩如生。文同家的院子里只种了竹子,他不论刮风下雨,都会去院子里研究竹子。暴雨来袭,当大家都躲入屋内时,文同跑入院中去研究雨水是如何从竹子上弹开的。炎炎夏日,文同仍在园中研究烈日下竹子的样子。长此以往,他记住了竹子的所有方面,画图时自然胸有成竹。

One%20day%20in%20winter,%20it%20started%20to%20snow.%20All%20the%20other%20villagers%20were%20inside%20their%20homes,%20staying%20warm.%20But%20of%20course,%20there%20Wen%20Tong%20was,%20outside%20in%20his%20bamboo%20
garden. He had to study the bamboo! He wanted to see the snow on the bamboo. This way, he could see how the ice sat on the leaves. Sure, he was very, very cold, but to him, it was all worth it.
After many, many days just like these, he memorized all there was to know about bamboo. He knew what frozen bamboo looked like. He knew what burnt bamboo looked like. He knew what newly planted bamboo looked like. He knew what dying bamboo looked like. He knew what bamboo looked like in all seasons, in all weather, and at all ages.
So when it was time to paint, he remembered everything he had seen. He knew the bamboo so well that one of his friends said, “When Wen Tong draws bamboo, he has its image in his mind.”
The End
In modern Chinese, you can say that someone has an image of bamboo in his or her mind. This means that
the person plans ahead, just like Wen Tong planned ahead by always going outside to study his bamboo. Although it was inconvenient at the time, studying the bamboo meant that he could later create amazing paintings.
Question: Are you planning ahead for anything right now? What are you planning ahead for?
