Catalogue Note
Artist's inscription:
In the capital, men and horses, clustered thick as smoke:
And whose name stands in first place on the autumn exam postings?
You've plucked the cassia! Indeed you must treasure this day's memory;
When again will you plant flowers like that you've planted this year?
The net collected unicorn and phoenix, emptying out the south-east!
As we observe, the Star of Literature connects above and below.
I remember sitting on the mat to the east of the patterned hall:
Who among us finally transmitted the bowl and robe of the He family?
