Shen Zhou's inscription reads:

Fan Gong's hand planted objects of a thousand years,
Fitting for descendants' nurturing care.
Over and over leaves fall returning to the ages;
Again and again good spring rises from the earth.
Watch them as Ji Zha guarded the auspicious trees.
From Zhuangzi I know the beauty of their timber;
So for you I take the brush and paint their likeness-
Bright sun, the wind, the rain awe lesser plants.
[tr. R. Edwards]
