Artist's inscription:
Rocky hills and a high pavilion are sealed by five(-colored) clouds;
Trees embrace the purple cliff under layers of blue mist.
From the Milky Way comes continuous rain;
By the sandy embankment, (I) await the descent of the dragon.

Yao Yuanzhi's inscription:
My ancestor of twelfth generations ago was an expert at painting landscapes and used the brush ideas of Ni and Shen. His brush and ink were valued by all. Unfortunately life was difficult during his time, and so extremely few of his works have survived. This work dates from over a hundred and sixty years ago and has just returned to me [his descendant]. Isn't this fortunate?
