Description inscription
'On the Feng Hsien Hua (literally Phoenix fairy flower) written by the emperor (thought to be Qianlong) 'The flower with its tail and wings looks like a phoenix; It is blooming usually in white, red, or purple by a low wall in autumn; The madman of Chu (note 1) sang on the decline of its power; It would be far-fetched if one thinks of the nest in a pavilion with four pillars' (note 2).
