Did You Know?

A waterfall descends between two mountains; the series of cascades is hinted by the careful placement of intermittent rocks.

Description

Fan Qi's painting for the third leaf of the album evokes Wang Wei's poetic line: Sit and watch the clouds rising.

Xu Fang's calligraphic colophon reads:
Green are the reeds, the sun not yet set;
Tree foliage and mountain colors divide the lake into two halves.
A solitary recluse sits upon a flat bluff,
Occasionally observing white clouds rising from the mountain tops.
