The poetic inscription on the panel depicting birds and prunus may be translated as:
'Against the bitter cold several branches of prunus buds blossom,
The fragrant aroma wafts across and reaches my desk.

The poetic inscription on the other panel may be translated as:
I enjoy the blissfulness as I relax amongst the bamboo,
Reading books that were never finished with the flowers surrounding me.
The four characters on the reverse of the first read ta xue xun mei, ('stepping through the snow in search of prunus').
The four characters on the reverse of the second read gu shan fang he ('releasing the crane in the lonely mountain').'
