Description

Leaf 7 Han Tan's colophon reads: Thoughts of autumn in the nuptial chamber with the new chill arising, The white frost all persuasive with a bright moon shining. Outside the window, a crisp wind conveys the sound of crickets. Within this quiet dream, I seem to sense the fragrance of orchids.
