Leaf 8 Li Bing's colophon reads: Maple leaves drift in the wind, the autumn gusts bracing, Hibiscus flowers steeped with water, the evening breeze light. The moonlight's slanting beams shine upon dreaming lovers. No wonder that pair of fowl should dream of their absent partners. The rock changes from ochre to green deepening into azurite blue accented with delicate dots of malachite green.
