巴黎塞納河上的人生 - Life on the Seine in Paris

塞納河,

長780公里,總面積78000平方公里,

源於法國北部的朗格勒高原

(Plateau de Langres)

流經巴黎市中心,穿越諾曼地的魯昂,

最終流入英吉利海峡。 


巴黎塞納河畔位於巴黎市中心,

1991年被聯合國教科文组織

列為世界文化遺產。

由男爵奧斯曼(Eugène Haussmann, 

1809-1891)整頓法國首都巴黎。

城市分為左岸與右岸。

左岸文化、藝術館雲集,

右岸多為行政、商業中心。

古典建築融合现代化。

巴黎不愧享有藝術、時尚、浪漫、

花都之美譽。


沿著塞納河漫步,

看到許多停泊在岸邊的船屋。

隱約見到屋內的家具設備一應俱全。

寬敞的甲板有綠意盎然的花圃。

靜謐的水面上深居簡出⋯

多麼與眾不同的人生。


想到唐代詩人劉禹錫

〈堤上行三首》中的 

《 江南江北望烟波,入夜行人相應歌。》


似乎道出水上人家的心境。

 

The Seine,

length of 780 kilometres and a total area of 78,000 square kilometres, 

it originates from the Plateau de Langres in northern France.

It flows through the centre of Paris, through Rouen in Normandy, 

and finally into the English Channel.


Located on the Seine in Paris,

It was organised by UNESCO 

in 1991.

Listed as a world cultural heritage.

Urban transformation of the Ottoman baron 

(Eugène Haussmann, 1809-1891)

in the 19th century.

The city is divided into left bank 

and right bank.

Left bank culture and art museums gather.

The right bank is mostly for administrative and commercial centres.

Classical architecture integrates modernization.

Paris is worthy of the reputation of art, fashion, romance and the City of Light.


Strolled along the Seine River,

I saw many boathouses moored on the shore.

I can vaguely see that the furnitures and equipment in the house are complete. 

Spacious deck 

has green surroundings.

Live on board, on the quiet water …

What a different life.


Thinking of Liu Yuxi,

a poet in the Tang Dynasty.

In the " Three Songs of the Embankment " :

《 At night, watching clouds and mist 

cover the river and interaction of people by the river. 》


It seems to convey the mood of the people live on the river.

Eva Jospin 的奇異世界 - Grottesco d’Eva Jospin





Eva Jospin 的作品曾在台北市立美術館展出 -
  Eva Jospin’s art works have been 
exhibited at Taipei Fine Arts Museum







盈珍攝影 - Ying Chen photography 

 

Eva Jospin 

是一位法國視覺藝術家。 

她在大皇宮美術館展覽的標題《Grottesco》

靈感來自一個年輕的羅馬人的傳說 -

他偶然掉進了一個宮殿裡佈滿壁畫的洞穴,

在那裡他發現了被遺忘的

Domus Aurea 壁畫。 


Eva Jospin由此傳說

用紙板、木材、貝殼、珍珠、石頭、彩紙、

金屬、線繡⋯

建造的虛擬世界,

是療癒花園。

這𥚃的廢墟、洞穴、

古堡、庭園、森林,

將展翅高飛的夢想

化為無限可能呈現世人眼前。


佇足於此夢幻花園,

暫時忘卻世俗煩憂,

沉浸在如詩如夢中也是一種幸福。

 


Eva Jospin is a French visual artist.

The title of her exhibition at the Grand Palais Museum is 《 Grottesco 》

Inspired by the legend of a young Roman -

He accidentally fell into a cave full of murals in the palace.

There he found the forgotten

the mural of Domus Aurea.


Eva Jospin's creation is based on this legend.

Her virtual world built with cardboard, wood, shells, pearls, stones, coloured paper, metal, thread embroidery…

It's a healing garden.

These ruins, caves,

castles, gardens, forests,

and embroidery...

All the dreams are infinitely possible to appear in front of the world.


Standing in this dream garden,

forget all the troubles for a while.

Immersed in dream and poetry

is also a kind of happiness.

瑞雪兆豐年 - A timely snow it's an omen - have a good harvest

 




盈珍攝影 - Ying Chen photography 


2026新年的初雪 -

祈願我們家人、親友、眾生平安喜樂。

為世界和平祈禱。

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻


雪後露出的陽光 -

令我想到那句:瑞雪兆豐年。



The first snow of the New Year 

in 2026 -

Pray for our family, friends, 

all sentient beings are safe and happy.

And pray for world peace.

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻


Seeing the sunny day after the snow 

reminds me of a poem :

A timely snow 

it's an omen - 

have a good harvest.

看海的一天 - A day by the sea






盈珍攝影 - Ying Chen photography 


寒風中來到惠特斯特布爾小城鎭 - 

Whitstable 位於英格蘭東南部

肯特郡(Kent)的北海岸,

充滿活力的迷人小鎭。

城鎮海灘 (Whitstable Beach) 

夏天是衝浪戲水度假勝地。

冬天依然有許多人來看海。

偶然陽光乍現,

許多星星會在朵朵浪花上飛舞。


碧海連天 -

萬物皆渺小,

時間也彷彿凝結在這一片寂靜中。



Arriving Whitstable 

in the biting wind.

It is located on the north coast of Kent 

in southeast England.

A charming little town full of vitality.

In summer, Whitstable Beach is a resort 

for surfing and sailing.

Many people come in winter too.

The sudden appearance of sunlight,

so many stars flying on the waves.


Blue sea and azure sky -

All things are insignificant.

Time also seems to be condensed 

in this silence.
