Fan Qi's painting on this second leaf of the album is, perhaps, based on Du Mu's poetic line: The herdboy pointed to the distant Apricot Village. Han Tan's calligraphic colophon facing the painting reads: A thousand feet of red cliffs look like a sculptured flower of furong ; In one glance, the long bridge joins adjacent ridges. Furthermore a wine shop stands in a bamboo grove; The fellow who bought some good wine is drunk on the eastern shore of the stream. A wine shop's flag is visible above the bamboo grove.
