Mountain Market, Clearing Mist early 13th century Xia Gui Chinese This album leaf presents a poetic evocation of one of the Eight Views of the Xiao and Xiang Rivers. The Eight Views became a popular subject for painters beginning in the late eleventh century after the Chan (Japanese: Zen) Buddhist monk Huihong (1071-1128) composed eight poems on these themes. His poem "Mountain Market, Clear with Rising Mist" offers vivid images for painters to interpret:Last night's rain is letting up, mountain air is heavy,Steam rising, sun and shadow, shifting lightamid trees;The silkworm market comes to a close, the crowdthins out,Roadside willows by the market bridge: goldenthreads play;Whose house with flower-filled plot is acrossthe valleyA smooth-tongued yellow bird calls in spring breeze;Wine flag in hazy distance-look and you can see:It's the one west of the road to Zhe Tree ReidgeValley.(Alfreda Murck, trans., in Images of the Mind[Princeton: The Art Museum, PrincetonUniversity, 1984, p. 2
