Description
Fan Qi's painting on the fifth leaf evokes Zuo Si's poetic line: I shake my robe atop the cliff of thousand ren.
The calligraphy by Zhou Yi adjacent to the painting reads:
That stone path surrounded by streams—for whom was it created?
Leaning on my staff, I walk and hum, arriving alone.
As soon as I ascend to gaze at these mountains, my happiness increases,
Every morning the moistening dew makes the green moss slippery.
