Song of the Great Wind (大风歌)

Inscription

At Xiaoman I do not speak of the Song of the Great Wind; the years on paper are hardly worn by much grinding. The capital, seen with blue-eyed favor, has fine scenery—how many heroes are like halberds sunk into oblivion. Lord Han’s gathered valor weighs heavy through a thousand autumns; Huizong’s wondrous hand was held cheap in his own day. I trade my paintings for rice—how dull it is; my hand responds, but my heart does not, and grace runs thin. One day, when I have paid off my debt of painting, I shall go paint pineapples in front of everyone.

小满不说大风歌，纸上岁月罔多磨。青眼京华风光好，多少英雄似沉戈。韩公积雄千秋重，徽宗妙手一时薄。我画换米好无趣，应手无心少婀娜。一日了却丹青债，便向人前写波萝。
