Further Information
徜徉于山林泉石之间，而尘心渐息；
夷犹于诗书图画之内，而俗气潜消。
故君子虽不玩物丧志，亦常借境调心。
棲山
English Translation of text in the painting:
Roaming freely among mountains, forests, springs, and rocks, one’s worldly desires gradually fade;
lingering within poetry, books, and paintings, one’s vulgar spirit quietly dissipates.
Thus, although a gentleman does not lose himself in external things, he often borrows such surroundings to cultivate his heart.
