The reverse of the screen is inscribed with one of the Emperor Qianlong's poems, and may be translated as:

'There is great pleasure in playing chess and looking at paintings;
It is of no moment that one's hair is white so long as one's eyes are strong.
It is not certain that the painting is that of Song Nian;
Nevertheless I envy anyone who looks at the Jade Plaque'.
