Catalogue Note

Zhang Daqian's inscription:
Daozhou wrote this in his late years, taking inspiration from epigraphy. This is what is called "like a dragon, like withered wisteria." In the third month of the renwu year (1942), Master Yimin shows this to me, and I am overjoyed to inscribe my praise and my name on it.
