介绍（中）	由艺术家和顾元奎题写（朱仁学位，1744年）;殷熙（1711-1758）;朱文珍（1718年-约1778年）;和程铎（18世纪中叶早期）郑燮的灵感来自朋友盛开的兰花，画了两种中国文人钦佩的植物：兰花，象征忠诚和不被欣赏的美德，以及竹子，象征强壮而灵活的优越男人。《兰花和竹子》是在艺术家五十岁时画的，大约是他被任命为中国北方政府职位的时候。无论是绘画还是诗歌，都期待在南方退休，颂扬文人回归自然的理想。这首诗刻在卷轴的左端，以自由优雅的风格写成，与旁边兰花的笔触相呼应。艺术家将他的画作和诗歌献给他的朋友程铎（18世纪中叶早期），作为回应，程铎亲自题词，并请三位朋友添加题词。应后来的主人霍如木（卒于 1921 年）的要求，著名书法家和画家吴长石（1844-1927 年）用古老的篆书在标题页上刻上了"水墨戏"的字样。在霍的邀请下，另一位学者在卷轴左端的另一张纸上写下了一篇长长的诗歌欣赏。
介绍（英）	Inscribed by the artist and by Gu Yuankui (juren degree, 1744); Yinxi (1711–1758); Zhu Wenzhen (1718–ca. 1778); and Cheng Duo (act. early-mid-18th century) Inspired by the viewing of a friend's orchids in full bloom, Zheng Xie painted two plants admired by Chinese literati: the orchid, symbol of loyalty and unappreciated virtue, and the bamboo, symbol of the superior man who is strong yet flexible. Orchids and Bamboo was painted when the artist was fifty, about the time he was appointed to a government post in northern China. Both painting and poem look forward to retirement in the south and celebrate the literati ideal of retreating to nature. The poem, inscribed at the left end of the scroll, is written in a free and elegant style that echoes the brushwork of the orchids beside it. The artist dedicated his painting and poem to his friend Cheng Duo (act. early-mid-18th century), who, in response, inscribed the painting himself and asked three friends to add inscriptions. At the request of a later owner, Huo Rumu (d. 1921), the renowned calligrapher and painter Wu Changshi (1844–1927) inscribed the title sheet with the characters for "Ink Play" in archaic seal script. At Huo's invitation, another scholar wrote a long poetic appreciation on a separate sheet of paper attached at the left end of the scroll.
