Commenting on a line from Kanglikui's colophon to the scroll, Snyder observes :
"The remark leads a viewer to turn the handscroll slowly and to journey through the streams and mountains and into the mists and clouds. The scroll is read from right to left and one is affected by the nature as if actually there. The journey a viewer makes through the canvas is marked clearly : There is a path that can followed even if, at times, there are alternate paths to create variety, and always along a passage, a reader experiences a harmony with nature."
