上款：高樺（b.1935），山東濟南人。曾在部隊從事文藝及新聞工作，轉業後，先後任職於〈中國環境報〉、〈綠葉〉等雜誌，推動生態環境文學創作。章仲鍔（1935-2008），早歲參軍，後畢業於北京師範學院中文系，投身出版界，歷任〈十月〉、〈當代〉、〈中國作家〉等大型文學雜誌編輯，並出任作家出版社副總編輯。

註：一九八五年，吳冠中到四川九寨溝寫生，有「深山鬧市九寨溝」一文，詳細描述在這自然風光中所見之景色，筆下有〈春秋〉、〈盆景海〉等速寫，日後衍生為彩墨畫作。彩墨〈春秋〉寫於一九八六年，乃畫家代表作之一，屢次選入畫集。本幅雖未示畫題，若對照彩墨〈春秋〉一畫之構圖及創作年份，可知乃同期所寫，並題贈友人。

畫景取自九寨溝一角，畫家曾謂「水清淺，淺灘處蘆葦叢生，被誇張叫做蘆葦海」。畫中見石塊散佈錯落於淺灘中，葦草翹首引頸穿插其間，其姿婀娜搖曳，繽紛色點如雨，漫天灑落，點、線、面三者交織於畫面上，或輕或重，濃淡相間，如自然交響樂合奏般諧協。
