Description
Leaf 3
This leaf evokes Wang Wei's poetic line:
Sit and watch the clouds rising.
Xu Fang's 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.
