拍品专文

The long inscription contains an Imperial poem praising the beauty of chrysanthemum, appreciated when one is in a drunken state. The poem refers to the famous Tang poet Tao Yuanming (circa AD365 - 427), whose love for drinking and appreciating chrysanthemum was a recurring theme in his poems.
