I need help translating this Chinese into English.?
五十九年庚戌八月五停湖上作
It is about a painter called Zhang Daqian.
I am sure this line comes from his painting.
This line is telling us where and when the painting is painted.
"五十九年" means "year 59", but it is not 1959!! It is a counter of the age of Republic of China(Not People's republics of China!) which was founded in 1912, which is year 1, so, "五十九年" here means 1970AD.
"庚戌" also means the year 1970. http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970%E5%B9%B4 find the 2 characters on the page. This is a very traditional expression of year in China, it is called "Jiazi(甲子)" System, a cycle of 60 years.
八月五 is Augest,5th, but I'm not sure about the which type of calendar he was using, could be tradational Chinese one.
停湖 is the place, where he did the painting, a lake called "Ting".
check out some background of the painting, you would know more about it.
