The Chinese poem at the top of this picture is a work of " Fan Cheng da "."The eighth poem with pleasure in the countryside at a winter day "

榾柮無煙雪夜長 地爐煨酒煖如湯

莫嗔老婦無盤飣 笑指灰中芋栗香

Pieces of wood are burning without smoking.Snowy night is long.

I warm Sake like hot water in the hearth.

Don't get angry with your old wife,even if she doesn't have a side dish.

When she smiles and points at the ash, potatoes and chestnuts smell sweet.
