The seal was made during the reign of Emperor Yongzheng, and was roughly carved after the forty-eighth year of Kangxi’s reign (1709), because Emperor Kangxi gave the north of the Changchun Garden to the fourth son of the emperor, Yinzhen, and “gave the garden the name of Yuanming”.

Try the words of the ancient books and realize the virtue of roundness and clearness. The man who is round and deep in the mind is also in the time of a gentleman. The man who is bright and bright is wise and wise.
