On this sheet, Xie"s layering of the foreground, middle ground, and far distance may have been an attempt to construct a composition using the traditional "three distances." According to Xie"s inscription, this is a view from the site of the former Leifeng Pagoda, which had collapsed in 1924, toward the island called "Reflections of the Moon in Three Ponds."
