Poem by Zhou Yi 周儀 (mid 17th century–about 1705): 

Ancient trees share the slanting rays of the setting sun/
Chilly ravens hover round their branches/
The leader of the flock thinks this is a good place to rest,/
Evening being the time for returning./
This flock is the so-called a filial crow,/
Who, in disgorging their food [to feed their young], have compassionate hearts,/
Were the people in the world all like this,/
Fine talent would be everywhere.

The winter landscape turns ocher at dusk, and the birds roost for the night.

wall description:
Leaf 9 Zhou Yi's colophon reads: Ancient trees share the slanting rays of the setting sun. Chilly ravens hover round their branches. The leader of the flock thinks this a good place to rest, Evening being the time for returning. This flock is the so-called filial crow, Who, in disgorging their own food [to feed the young], have compassionate hearts. Were the people in the world all like this, Fine talent would be everywhere.
