Catalogue Note
Artist's inscription:
Every time a big group moves, dense smoke fills an entire dike. Willow branches sway in the wind, flowers and mud are crushed on the ground. Refusing to be harnessed with a patterned rhinoceros' horn, the wild horses spur each other on. The imperial highway of the Ming dynasty now resembles the Zhuoying Stream. An old poem by myself. Dong Qichang.
