Español: Escuchando los pinos en un pabellón junto al río

Un rollo colgante vertical, en tinta sobre seda, muestra una montaña brumosa en el extremo superior izquierdo, pinos inclinados en primer plano y un pequeño pabellón junto a la ribera en la parte inferior derecha. Un puente arqueado y delgado cruza el agua cerca del centro, con aguadas grises suaves que sugieren distancia y neblina.

Um rolo vertical de pendurar, em tinta sobre seda, mostra uma montanha enevoada no canto superior esquerdo, pinheiros inclinados no primeiro plano e um pequeno pavilhão junto à margem do rio no canto inferior direito. Uma ponte arqueada e estreita atravessa a água perto do centro, com aguadas cinzentas suaves que sugerem distância e névoa.
