Huang Yi’s bibliography of small Penglai Pavilion. Huang Yi wrote in the postscript of his “The Twelve Pictures of Obtaining Monuments · The Painting of Celebrating Monuments in the Little Penglai Pavilion”: “On the ninth day of October 10, the tenth day of the reign of Emperor Qianlong and the fiftieth day of his horse’s tooth, Qi Youxian gathered. I avoided the noise of the Sihe River and sent workers to rub the monument. The monument of Dexiping was at the east gate of Qufu for two and a half years. I was extremely happy and ordered to drink wine, and invited Li Tieqiao to be drunk. Comrades and comrades heard it to celebrate together. When Ruan Gong Zhan Yuntai tried Qufu and asked him to move the monument, Yan and the bamboo leaf tablet coexisted.”
