Catalogue Note
Artist's Inscriptions:
(1) Washing away the dust and grit in the southern Yangzi, no one has returned from among the pines. The birds cry as the flowers pass towards dusk, spring waters are jade-green on the moss.
(2) A flying rain passes by the village, wet clouds break across the mountains. The sound of the pines harmonizes with the sound of the stream, coming to rest on Emperor Fuxi's pillow. After Huanghe Shanqiao (Wang Meng, 1308-1385).
(3) After Beiyuan (Dong Yuan, ?-approx. 962)
(4) After the monk Juran (circa 10th century).
(5) On the isle birds call at lonely shadows, on the sandbar there is pure fragrance from the duckweed. Dawn comes to the trees on the river, their leaves newly frosted. Copied after Xu Daoning (circa 970-1052).
(6) The little pavilion leans against the stony gully, and through the long summer herbs are fragrant deep in the mountains. The wind and rain arrives suddenly as I return late in the evening, the sound of sculling oars breaking through the cloud that covers the river.
(7) Copy after Wu Zhonggui (Wu Zhen, 1280-1354)
(8) Circuitously coming to old age with great emotion lodged in this world, like the autumn wind along the sparse forest and sandy bank. Sprinkling ink in the inkstone and coping with many thoughts, writing into the wintry clouds of the setting sun. Qianlong reign, guihai year, at the start of autumn, playing with ink, Zhang Zongcang.
(12) I made the first eight leaves in the beginning of autumn, and in the eleventh month wrote these four more leaves to fill out an album, recorded by Shouzhu.
