Painter’s title on the top right of the picture: “I think it is interesting to write this scene. It is suitable for the two Duke of Chen Mengxian and Zheng Dehui to visit each other. Meng Xian said, this picture is OK. Duke of Zheng said that seeking all kinds of virtuous splendor is not healthy and envious. Meng Xianqiang said, it is the opening words, and it is not dare to Jin also. Dehui is clean and quiet, and has no hobbies in things, so that Wang Wei and Wu Daoxuan are reborn and have no love, so it can cultivate their virtue. If you play well with your heart, it is the disease of scholars, and if you look at Dehui, it is a warning to everyone!
