Staying overnight at Five Peaks, Beidu Monastery,

In the temple's empty corridor at midnight,

The sound of the chime is cold amidst the sparse forest.

The moon above has not yet set;

The splashing torrent suddenly settles on level ground.

Clouds are deep, and birds return to their nests;

Resting in this quiet realm, far from other men.

Facing the bamboo, I reflect on the writings left behind;

I have come here for a moment to rest.

With weary feet, I gaze longingly toward my old home,

That village by the shore of the vast blue sea.

Poem by Zhou He original: 周賀 (Zhou He); a Tang dynasty monk-poet known for his themes of reclusion and Buddhist quietude.
In the style of Fan Kuan original: 用范寬 (Yong Fan Kuan); Fan Kuan was a seminal Northern Song dynasty painter. This indicates the woodcut utilizes his signature "raindrop" or "honey-locust" texture strokes to depict the massive, rugged cliffs.

This page illustrates a "fan painting" (shannmian). The challenge for the artist is to fit a "monumental" landscape—usually seen on tall vertical scrolls—into a wide, curved space. By using the style of Fan Kuan, the artist emphasizes the weight and texture of the rocks even within this small, decorative format.
