So, I executed this painting and wrote a poem: Old Zhuxi shaking, declines into wind and dust, The wasted pavilions and ruined gardens do not suprise me. My writing breaks free from human inconstancy, The things I care to describe are winding streams in empty forests" One seal of the artist: Qian You Long Mian Ji One collector's seal b. Shaobo Entitled and inscribed with a poem: "People live in a new town beneath the water, The water of the lake reaches the sky and floods without a shore.

As my boat passed Shaobo after an autumn flood, I visited Magistrate Yuebo and painted this in his boat" Three seals of the artist: Qi Jue, Lao Tao, Ku Gua One collector's seal (2)
