Fan Qi's painting on the fifth leaf evokes Zuo Si's poetic line: I shake my robe atop the cliff of thousand ren . The calligraphy by Zhou Yi adjacent to the painting reads: That stone path surrounded by streams—for whom was it created? Leaning on my staff, I walk and hum, arriving alone. As soon as I ascend to gaze at these mountains, my happiness increases, Every morning the moistening dew makes the green moss slippery. Barren tree branches on the peak and the bushes' reddish foliage give the scene an autumnal feel.
