Catalogue Note
Colophon:
The earth breaks apart like a ripple; the sky splits open like a crevice in a rock. Approaching the Peach Blossom Spring, the traveler has not come from Wuling.
When I traveled to the Yellow Mountains in the past, I paid attention to every place I passed. Viewing this painting by Master Jian now, I seem to remember my travels. It seems to begin with the hot springs of the White Dragon Pond, which were blocked by huge boulders and had no path of access. Travelers had to move sideways through gaps between the boulders, but after passing through this area they would reach Peach Blossom Spring. During the last third of the eighth month of the wuwu year (1678), I unrolled and viewed this painting in my grass hut, and leisurely wrote this inscription with my brush. Yanfu Tang Yansheng.
