李山官秘監，生平喜作風雪松杉圖。｢用筆瀟灑｣，氣韻渾厚，｢精絕有致｣，水墨淋灕，｢出蹊徑外｣。意在郭熙、董北苑之間。海陵徐秋槎并錄。 Li Shan held the rank of Director of Palace Library, and throughout his life was fond of making pictures of wind and snow in the firs and pines.3―His brushwork was free and natur al‖ and the spiritual resonance [of his paintings] was simple and bold, ―achieving a most refined effect,‖ while his ink was heavily saturated and ―went beyond t he narrow path.‖4 His intent lay somewhere betw
een Guo Xi [1001–1090] and Dong Beiyuan [Dong Yuan, died 960]. [Titled] and recorded by Xu Qiucha [Xu Lin] of Hailing.

康熙間李山，善指畫。此幅墨氣塵厚，用筆瀟灑，非金李山所能到也。余評此畫有唐時風味，定為唐李山是也。蘭舟先生以為如何？審定並請雅教，徐璘又識。
During the first decade of the seventh lunar-month in the bingchen year [August 1–10, 1856],5 I happened to visit the studio of Old Lan [unidentified], who brought out this painting and requested a colophon. I have looked through the registers of painters and there are three who share the name Li Shan: a Li Shan from the Tang dynasty, a Li Shan from the Jin dynasty, and a Li Shan from the Kangxi reign period, who was skilled at painting with his fingers. The ink of this painting is deep and thick6 while the brushwork is free and natural, which is not something that Li Shan of the Jin dynasty could have achieved. In my opinion the painting has the style and flavor of the Tang, so I conclude that it is by Li Shan of the Tang dynasty. What does Mister Lanzhou think about this? Authenticated and requesting your graceful instruction, inscribed again by Xu Lin.
