Wang Wenwei 王文蔚. Dated third month and third day, 1205, under the reign of Zhangzong of the Jin dynasty. 造物元無心，山川秀氣聚。畫手亦無盡，各出新意度。 誰將妙林泉，淡墨寫縑素。重巒疊嶂間，三兩人家住。 茅舍隔素籬，小橋通細路。溪上數葉舟，雅有物外趣。 嵓崦藏招提，依稀認窗戶。山色四時宜，雲煙自朝暮。 不知塵世中，此景在何處。收拾買山錢，投老好歸去。 泰和乙丑三月三日平原王文蔚謹再拜，書于河東縣署之野趣堂。 translation: remark: inscription: Colophon 2. Li Hui 李惠. The colophon was written three days before the Qingming Festival in 1205. 畫師慣在山中居，含毫吮墨聊自娛。 閑將一段冰霜絹，寫出千里江山圖。 前山後山互出沒，山腰林樾相縈紆。 危橋澗溜瀉鳴玉，山根一匯為平湖。 波平短艇快漁釣，雲深細徑來樵蘇。 僊宮梵宇占幽勝，雕欄複閣森蓬壺。 往來行客煙靄外，飄飄野店青帘孤。 人家雞犬聲相接，熙熙化日安唐宇。 嗟余嗜好何其迂，膏肓泉石真吾徒。 一行作吏墮世網，薄書汨沒勞奔趨。 千巖萬壑但夢想，故園三徑應將蕪。 披圖暫洗黃塵眼，拊膺三嘆空踟躕。 泰和乙丑清明前三日絳臺李惠書于舜城府署之九思堂。 translation: remark: inscription: Colophon 3. Weiluo Tian Xie 蔚羅田獬. 畫工紛紛不可紀，擺脫俗流幾人耳。 夫誰援筆掃鵝溪，一段風煙且千里。 白波青嶂渺無窮，水接山兮山插水。 小橋野店相勾連，古寺樓臺突兀起。 飄然氣象與神俱，但患未明孰姓氏。 郭熙雖老典型存，為問主公無乃是。 此畫世希當寶藏，無與碌碌同一視。 更看卷首數公詩，奇絕清新相表裏。 蔚羅田獬 translation: remark: inscription: Colophon 4. He Yan 何言. Written in 1214. 萬有來自無，一真歸所託。畫師得三昧，胸中幻丘壑。 百態逐墨破，群形隨筆落。地近迹分明，天遙痕隱約。 雲物自吐吞，峯巒非斧鑿。江鄉閴無市，谷關常不鑰。 中有野夫閑，童琴而歩鶴。酒斾出籬懸，漁舟臨岸泊。 澗樹蔽橋樑，巖松迷殿閣。岑疊宿霧重，野曠林煙薄。 危棧接縈紆，亂泉通脈絡。途中人往來，僕馬何羸弱。 怪石虎踡跼，古木龍蟠錯。一幅宜好收，千金非易博。 玉堂閑卷舒，眼界增寥廓。視險尚寛平，見危除慘虐。 氣象溢國華，川澤資廟略。功名業已書，歸去鞭先著。 但知色即空，何是今非昨。飽乎仁智心，箇中無限樂。 貞祐甲戌秋暮，東營何言題。 translation: remark: inscription: Colophon 5. Cao Yuanyong 曹元用 (d. 1329). Dated 1326. 岸擁危橋斷，溪浮小艇斜。 萬山最深處，依約兩三家。 泰定丙寅秋，曹元用題。 translation: remark: inscription: Colophon 6. Kangli Zishan 康里子山 (i.e., Kangli Naonao). The colophon bears a date of 1332. 右溪山圖，意韻蕭灑。一見使人有烟霞之想，真可珍藏。又有□金諸名勝題詩其左。兵火之餘， 殊不易得也。 至順三年暮春之月，康里子山跋。 translation: remark: inscription: Colophon 7. Liu Zai 劉載. 雲拂埜田閑種玉，雨餘巖溜碎傾金。 幾時也結團茆去，麟閤恬然不挂心。 至元二年正月，長安劉載載之謹錄上。 translation: remark: inscription: Colophon 8. Yang Mao 楊懋 (1300–after 1380). 觀此圖，經營位置，筆法高古，山明石潤。其橋梁、路道、樹林、人物、遠近；一一誠得真山水之深趣。非當時名筆有大才者不能至此。不必問其誰何，可為神品。况宋金元三朝名公所跋，尚不能記，想其來尤遠矣。然而物經累變而尚存，是物之有壽者也。余不復再論。文顯其保之。洪武庚申春，八十翁楊懋觀。 translation: remark: inscription: Colophon 9. Wang Duo 王鐸 (1592–1652). 文蓀親翁博雅，文詩鴻暢。舍弟持此喜觀，遂抽管題數語： 山勢委折，筆墨無痕。宋人中如此不多見也。譬之兵家，當是韓白。王鐸。 translation: remark: --- CURRENT EXHIBITIONS title: Chinese Landscape Painting opening date: 1954-11-05T04:00:00 Chinese Landscape Painting.
