This inkblot is believed to have been a demented Daoist Chong reading the true handwriting of the Great Hui Sect and the Monk of the Caotang and commenting on what he had done. Among the true works of the two sages, one describes the righteousness of brotherhood and the other teaches the affection of father and son. In this inkblot, the idiot Dao Chong discusses the ineffable wonders between father and son and brother according to the propositions of the two sages, hoping to warn the world. The "Ding Mo" in the inscription is chunyou 7 years (1247), which is the inkblot of the 79th year of the obsessive Dao Chong.
