擅畫游魚，生動傳神

劉寀（11世紀），字宏道（亦寫作道源或弘道），北宋開封（今屬河南）人，生卒年不詳。曾任縣官，後被任命為宮廷侍從，性格豪放不羈。他常沉醉於詩詞與美酒，並與貴族子弟交往。他擅長詩詞，尤其精於畫魚。 Liu Cai's paintings center on fish, depicting fish competing for food and playing with algae. The "Illustrated Treasure Mirror" praised his work as "though it may be like wind or duckweed, water or water plants, it is still a lively sight." The Xuanhe Painting Manual records 30 of his works, including 'Playing with Algae and Fish' and 'School of Mackerel Playing with Water Chestnuts,' praising his fish paintings as 'deeply capturing the meaning of playing with broad water and floating depths, forgetting the rivers and lakes.' 他的傳世作品包括美國聖路易斯藝術博物館的《落花游魚圖》、國立故宮博物院的《藻戲魚圖》，以及臺北國立故宮博物院的《群魚戲荇圖》。這些作品運用渲染技法描繪魚鱗和水波，畫中並未直接描繪水波，而是透過水生植物的動態來暗示水流。
