[Lapis lazuli imperial poem hill]
Lapis lazuli imperial poem hill, clear, 14.7 cm high, 30.3 cm long
The mountain is made of lapis lazuli, with dark blue stone color and peak shape. The front mountain road is rugged, the waterway is winding, the pines and rocks are rare, and the small courtyard is crowded with bamboo. Near the top of the mountain is a precipice, engraved with official script and filled with a poem made by Emperor Qianlong of Jin Dynasty: “The view is Qianshu Heyang, with a strange shape and ancient appearance. The mountain is intended to be called Xiangshan, and the nine old people will actually meet.” The cliff on the back is more steep, and the two deer can be seen in the deep shadow of the forest. The lower part is carved with turquoise
Shanzi is a common display in the imperial harem of the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Qianlong called it “jade…… Picture”, which means more happiness, wealth and longevity, or traditional themes such as fishing, woodcutting, farming and reading. The expression method has a high artistic imagination. This kind of lapis lazuli inscribed with poems is very rare
