Inscribed: Inscription: "Drifting in a Boat" I love these willow branches putting forth their delicate green leaves, Drifting in a boat, I pass the spring streams. Over Canglang I shout out, but no one responds, Only the water-birds flying by are able to give a single cry. Yunping Zhai Dakun Seal: 1) s/r "Quiyan caotang" (Thatched hall at Guiyan")
