By virtue of the skillful technique of Guo Tuo, it is possible to honor the elderly and the people in the village.” The inscription reads: “The fields are rich in apricots, and this tour is just in full bloom, and after the rain, it is increasingly beautiful and beautiful. When the rain falls, the flower chamber moves the pot, and the plum plants in the courtyard at the same time. As each writes a branch, this is a poem.

At the end of the style, there are two inscriptions: “Treasure of the Ancient and Rare Heavenly Son” and “Juri Zizi” Zhu Yin.
