Español: Convocando al sabio en el río Wei

Un rollo colgante de tinta y color sobre seda muestra una montaña escarpada e imponente en la parte superior derecha, sobre un pino retorcido que se extiende por el lado izquierdo. Dos pequeñas figuras con túnicas están de pie en una orilla rocosa junto a aguas tranquilas, en el centro inferior, empequeñecidas por el paisaje.

Português: Convocando o sábio no rio Wei

Um rolo vertical em tinta e cor sobre seda mostra uma montanha escarpada e imponente no canto superior direito, acima de um pinheiro retorcido que se estende pelo lado esquerdo. Duas pequenas figuras de vestes longas estão em pé numa margem rochosa, junto a águas calmas, no centro inferior, ofuscadas pela paisagem.
