Frontispiece:
Parting Ways at the Bridge. Official Zuo'an showed me this image by Zhao Zhongmu and asked me to inscribe this frontispiece. I am sorry that my feeble wrist work is inadequate in comparison to these wonderful traces of Zhao's. In the wushen year, inscribed by Zhen Jun.

Colophons:
Wen Zhengming: Parting ways in tears at the bridge, the regret does not diminish. To the returning heart of the sorrowed man the skies are remote. No one considers Li Ling's story to be one of a rise and fall, and everyone knows of Gentleman Su's enduring will. Zhengming.

Peng Nian: Dropping the final flag in full honor, steeling the intestines in preparation for having to bear the goat skin and felt. Yan's calligraphy is not as simple as Minister Su's, crying blood the cuckoo returns east.
