拍品专文

The poetic inscription is read as 'tao ling jiu bei san jing ju, du ling shi cao bai hua tang'. This refers to the famous poets Tao Yuanming (circa. 365-427) of the Six Dynasties period and Du Fu (712-770) of the Tang Dynasty. It alludes to Tao Yuanming's wine cup and his three rows of chrysanthemum, as well as Du Fu's poetry and his studio with hundreds of flowers.
