有些小畫我們把它畫得很繁複，咫尺小幅，表現的卻是大山大水。但在這幀小畫裡，我們卻只想展現山腳下的一個小角落的一個小小天地。構圖很簡單，幾顆石頭幾株樹，彎垂的樹幾乎占去二分之一以上的畫面。談不上什麼境界，不過卻有一種隱約的律動在。流泛在畫裡的是傍晚時分催逼旅人的氛圍。

此刻，旅人正待要下山，樹林深處的空隙中透過來遠遠昏黃的氤氳，加上向晚時分的蟬鳴，啊，這就是催促旅人們趕快回家的音符。

Sometimes I make a small painting very complicated. A tiny work can portray great mountains and rivers. But I only wanted to show a small nook at the foot of a mountain in this little work. The composition is very simple: there are a few rocks and a few trees, and the bent trees take up more than one half of the scene. You can't really talk about a mood, but there is a vague rhythm to the work. There is a sense of evening coming and hastening the travelers' footsteps.

The travelers are about to leave the mountains, and there is a distant dusky look in the depths of the forest. The evening song of the cicadas contains notes urging the travelers to quickly go home.＠
