Artist’s inscriptions and signature
1. 2 columns in semi-cursive script, undated:
Zi’ang [Zhao Mengfu] playfully painted this Twin Pines, Level Distance.
子昂戲作雙松平遠。
2. 6 columns in semi-cursive script, undated:
Ever since my youth, after practicing calligraphy, I have toyed with some small paintings, but landscape is one subject that I have not been able to master. This is because I have not managed to see even one or two masterpieces by Wang Wei (701–761), the senior and junior general Li [i.e. Li Sixun (active 705–720) and Li Zhaodao (active mid-8th c.)], and Zheng Qian (active mid-8th c.) of the Tang period. As for works of the Five Dynasties masters, such as Jing Hao (active ca. 870–930), Guan Tong (active ca. 907–923), Dong Yuan (active 930s–960s), and Fan Kuan (ca. 960–ca. 1030), who succeeded one another [as leading masters], the “brush idea” [biyi] of all of them is absolutely different from the style of recent paintings. As for my own work, I dare not compare it with those of the ancient masters, but when I look at what recent painters have done, I daresay mine is a bit different. Since [Dong] Yeyun asked for a painting, I wrote this at the end, Mengfu.[1]
僕自幼小學書之餘，時時戲弄小筆，然扵山水獨不能工。蓋自唐以來，如王右丞、大小李將軍、鄭廣文諸公奇絕之跡，不能一二見。至五代荊關董范輩出，皆與近世筆意遼絕。僕所作者，雖未敢與古人比，然視近世畫手，則自謂少異耳。因野雲求畫，故書其末。孟頫

1. Yang Zai 楊載 (1271–1323), 9 columns in standard script, undated:
As the tiny boat tries to advance upriver,
Mighty mountain trees are suddenly swept into tumult.
Swiftly heavy wind and rain pour through the night,
Clapping waves against the sky – making the oars hard to control![2]
My native home is a hut beside the great river,
But for many years now I have lived away in the capital.
Today it is as if a fishing pole had come into my hands,
As I enjoy perusing this painting.
Venerable Songxue [Zhao Mengfu] painted this landscape handscroll for Penal Associate Mr. Dong Yeyun. Composed by Yang Zai of Pucheng [in Fujian].[3] [Seals]: Zai, Zhonghong fu yin, Pucheng Yang shi
扁舟欲泝江流上，
山木隆隆俄振響。
忽聞風雨晚來多，
波浪拍天難蕩槳。
我家茅屋大江邊，
遠客京師今幾年。
此日釣竿方入手，
先披圖畫亦欣然。

2. Tong Xuan 童軒 (1425–1498), 14 columns in semi-cursive script, undated:
The Twin Pines, Pure and Distant scroll, painted and inscribed with a colophon by the respectable Zhao Wenmin [Zhao Mengfu] of Wuxing [in Zhekiang], has been acquired by Academician Suxuan [Qian Ning, died ca. 1522], who appreciates it profoundly. Suxuan’s character and family background compare closely with Wenmin’s, so, respecting the man, he loves his painting. In the precious Yuan dynasty, Wenmin attained the position of Recipient of Edicts in the Hanlin Academy through his literary accomplishment. At the time, scholars and officials admired his superiority in a dozen things; his talents were certainly not limited to painting and calligraphy. However, as a descendant of the imperial family of the past Song dynasty, he served the Yuan ruler. I suspect that his fellow scholar-officials’ opinions of him resonated with the message of the poem “Reaching Old Age with the Husband” in the Odes of Yong. I wonder how Ban Gu (32–92) and Sima Qian (ca. 145–ca. 86 B.C.) would think of him. Inscribed by Tong Xuan of Poyang [in Jiangxi], Assistant Surveillance Commissioner of Yunnan. [Seals]: Shi’ang, Jinmen guli, Qingfeng Ting
吳興趙文敏公所畫《雙松清遠圖》并跋語一卷，今内相素軒公得之，清玩不忍釋手。蓋公之人品門第甚類文敏，故愛其人斯愛其畫也。且文敏在前元時，以文字承旨翰林，一時士大夫稱其過扵人者凡一十二事，固不止扵書畫之妙而已。然文敏以故宋宗室之裔，委質元主，竊意當時士大夫之論，亦猶 《鄘風》 君子偕老之詩，不知班、馬以爲何如也。雲南按察司僉事番陽童軒跋。 [印]： 士昂，金門故吏，清風亭
