Ni Zan (1306-1374), also known by his zi (designated name) Yuanzhen and his hao (literary name) Yunlin, was native to Wuxiin Jiangsu province. His whole family moved to Lize in Wujiang in the 13^th year (1353) of the Zhizheng reign, and later moved near the Mao Lake in Songjiang (nowadays in Shanghai) in the 26^th year (1366) of the Zhizheng reign in order to avoid the war. When he returned home in the 28^th year (1368) of the Zhizheng reign, he painted this painting for his friend Yuanhui. This painting is regarded as a masterpiece of his later years. It was collected by Li Yingzhen and inscribed with a colophon by Wu Kuan.
