The inscriptions on each chair are taken from the poems composed by the Tang dynasty poets Liu Yuxi (AD 772-842) and Qian Qi (active circa AD 751) respectively, and can be translated as “Instant ecstasy upon seeing [one’s] elegant demeanor,” and “Golden orioles fly into the forest in February.”

The calligraphy in which the two inscriptions are executed is in the style of Dong Qichang (1555-1636), a calligrapher, painter and theoretician of the late Ming dynasty. Xuanzai was Dong's alternative name and Taishishi appears to be the inscription on one of his personal seals.
