Inscription
The monstrous and wicked thrive through a chaotic age; sheep-natured things flaunt brilliant stripes. Their stinging venom has long been in place; chirping and squeaking, they recklessly press farther on. The noble man does not herd with the crowd; he hides his traces, set apart by rivers and seas. Wild roaring suits his free nature—how dare the petty crowd shun him or lightly alter course? Wind and clouds answer in accord; in blazing majesty, a hundred grasses bow low. Crossing the river, one knows the humane man; hungry bellies may gather as they will. He cuts his own flesh to fulfill great righteousness; in saving the world, how could he speak of weariness? His heart dwells deep in rain and dew; awesome and stern, he steadies the realm. Lines inscribed on a tiger. Nan Cun.
妖孽长乱世，羊质文炳披。螫毒由来久，啾啾恣更趋。君子自不群，隐迹江海殊。狂啸合自在，群小敢避易。风云随相应，鼓赫百草低。渡河知仁人，饥肠任堆集。割肉成大义，济世岂言疲。宅心雨露深，凛凛镇社稷。题虎句。南村。
