Wandering mightily, it is the cold season. The white brocade has no pattern and is fragrant, and the magnolia tree is covered in snow. The quiet night is sinking, the floating light is hazy, the coldness melts the moon. In the heaven on earth, the silver clouds shine through.

題畫詩：
游浩蕩，是年年, 寒食梨花時節。
白錦無紋香爛漫，玉樹瓊葩堆雪。
靜夜沉沉，浮光靄靄，冷浸溶溶月。
人間天上，爛銀霞照通徹。
