Summary
The landscape in this painting is based on a story by the 9th-century poet Bai Juyi. One chilly autumn evening, while on a ferry the poet heard music from another boat. Enchanted, he asked the musician to come on board and play for him. If you do not know this story, you would simply see an ordinary landscape with a harbour on a river.
