Inscriptions: Artist's inscription, signature, and 2 seals:By the side of the hamlet I built a thatched pavilion. Balanced and squared, it is lofty in conception. The woods being deep, birds are happy; the dust being distant, bamboos and pines are clean. Streams and rocks invite lingering enjoyment, lutes and books please my temperament. How should I bid farewell to the world of the ordinary and the familiar, and let my heart go its own way for the gratification of my life? In the tenth month of winter, in ting-hai, the seventh year of Chih-cheng [1347], 1 did this Poetic Feeling in a Thatched Pavilion playfully for Yüan-tse. Written by Mei sha-mi [Novice of the Plum Blossom].
