- Inscription: Artist seal: Fan Qi 樊圻. Poem by Zhou Yi 周儀 (mid 17th century–about 1705): Ancient trees share the slanting rays of the setting sun/ Chilly ravens hover round their branches/ The leader of the flock thinks this is a good place to rest,/ Evening being the time for returning./ This flock is the so-called a filial crow,/ Who, in disgorging their food [to feed their young], have compassionate hearts,/ Were the people in the world all like this,/ Fine talent would be everywhere.
