About the artwork
朝辞白帝彩云间，千里江陵一日还。 两岸猿声啼不住，轻舟已过万重山. This Tang poem by Li Bai is titled <<早发白帝城>> or Setting Off from Baidi City. Translated, it reads: In the morning one departs from Baidi amongst rosy clouds, it is a thousand miles to Jiangling and will take a day to return. Along both shores, apes call unceasingly, this little boat has already passed ten thousand layered mountains.
