Description inscription
"The rains wash away the grease of cosmetics of Wu (note 3); The wind is blowing against the pieces of brocade of Shu (note 3). I regret that I was born comparatively late And cannot see the winter plum blossoms" "The flowers on the bank view with one another for beauty in Spring; Many trees are blooming in a great variety of red. They look like the Imperial concubine getting drunk (note 4); Her sweet face rests on the palm of her hand after she had awaked from sleep."
