Inscription:
There is a rushing beach every ten li, and a bay every five li; Enchanting are the tresses of mist arraying on all sides. Steering the boat I keep blaming myself for lying idle all year round, Having done nothing but pushed aside the matting to admire the lovely mountains. Fifth lunar month of the jichou year, Daichien Chang Yuan.
