Further Information
会心不在远，得趣不在多；
盆池拳石间，便居然有万里山川之势；
片言只语内，便宛然见千古圣贤之心。

English Translation of text in the painting:
True understanding lies not in the distant; true delight lies not in abundance.
Within a small pond or a cluster of rocks, one can already behold the grandeur of mountains and rivers stretching for thousands of miles.
In a few words or a brief phrase, the spirit of sages across the ages can vividly be perceived.
