Catalogue Note

Artist's inscription:
On the fortifications above the west gate of Jinling, I view the clear autumn scenery. The dusk rays bathe ten thousand miles of land, through which great rivers flow. The Central Plains are in chaos, and we have been scattered. When will this situation resolve? I ask the sorrowful winds to carry my tears all the way to Yangzhou.
A lyric by Zhu Xizhen to the tune of Xiangjian huan. In its sympathy for society and lament of chaos, it could almost be written by a contemporary person.
