筆端存造化 

一幅直千金 
自濕雲煙氣 
若聼山水音 
未成歸隱計 
聊寫臥遊心 
是我幽居趣 
應從畫裏尋
The tip of my brush has Creator’s Power,
So a single scroll is worth a thousand pieces of gold!
When moistened with vapors of cloud and mist,
It is like hearing the sounds of stream and mountain.
Since I have not carried out my plan of hermitage,
I just use this to show my “armchair wanderer’s” heart.
And thus my joy of living in retirement
Must be sought here, inside this painting.
