The seven people are all ministers of the Qianlong Dynasty. Their Qin inscriptions are:
Zhu Xiaoxiao, Song Su
The bird tunes the spring and the spring gargles the jade
The sound of nature should be the business of the palace. Who can transmit this song
Quiet whistling strokes the strings, hoping to be reserved
Chen Shizheng
The vitality must be clear, and the sound is Xiao. Taiyin Zhengxi, who is the drummer
Sitting quietly, smiling alone. The golden emblem is not open, and the ancient tune is hidden
Suddenly, with the sky, the rhyme flows through the eyes. It is not the ringing of stone bells, nor the roaring of Sumen
Hear the heart in the ear, and the heart lamp shines on itself. Wave the five strings with your hands, and still lead the way
I will encourage you to honor me
The empty room will blow the badge and the valley
The long chirp of the filaments, the cool style of the study
The sky and the sky are full of autumn sounds, and the cold is mixed with ancient wood
In the autumn, the air is cool, and the sound is loud and the rock valley is vibrating
The sound is as clear as the sound, and the sound is like a hut
The heart and the ancient times, Xiao Sen moved thousands of trees
Dear Chen Bangyan
The golden emblem and jade bar ring through the silk trees. Seven strings are cold and six laws are gentle
Light but far away, harmony but different. The restless heart is released, and the reserved spirit is melted
Listen quietly at night, and the sound of nature is very poor
Chen Bangda
The empty mountain is silent. Why is the sound coming. Who holds the wind wheel, closes and opens
Chen Youdun
The bamboo is clear, the pine is like, and the cold myriad orifices are ringing in the court
The former sings to the latter, and this is the only way to make the music of emptiness
I’m kind
The spring pours into the stream in the early morning, and the leaves turn to the evening to sing the wind
What is the rhythm of the wind
The minister said Xiu
The right side of the pool is carved with the regular script “Yan Gongyuan Zhuo”
