Leaf 1 Self-inscription: A decrepit grass hut by a long, narrow road, Trees leaning in the setting sun (look) aslant. I have walked all the mountain path, Which hill can I not call my home? |

Leaf 2 Self-inscription: (Like) the forthrightness of Tung Hsuan and the continence of Yen Yen who do not yield to force, with a stiff neck the bamboo weathers wind and snow. Signature: Mei-hua tao-jen playfully demonstrates the method for painting snow bamboo. |

Leaf 3 Self-inscription: A light shadow protects the green moss, A pure breeze churns the purple bamboo sheaths, I have not yet had audience with Master Yu-pan, and will first set free the crane from Yangchou. Signature: Old Mei playfully made this at the eastern guest area of Tu-yu while playfully snacking on tea.

Leaf 4 Self-inscription: In sorrow (I contemplate my) fifty-thousand fathoms of long white hair, In playfulness I brush up five hundred stalks of bamboo in pure breeze, Signature: Mei tao-jen plays with ink. At this time a sudden squall arrives, and the clear breeze cools my skin. (Written) on the 15th day of the 6th month in the summer of the keng-yin year of the Chih-cheng era. |
