Yang Shizhi knows.” The upper side is engraved with a regular script inscription in the 43rd year of Qianlong (1778): “The golden star is good for visiting the money, so that he can know the five years of Xuanhe. The storytelling in the Song Hall is faithful, and Cheng Men learns from the true story. Li Mingcheng School in the south of the country is talking about Tongliang in the north to directly punish the traitors. The saints inside and the kings outside are not two, so I am at a loss. The imperial title of Qianlong 1898 is printed: “Understanding is not far away”, “Virtue is sufficient”. Yang Shi (1053-1135), a neutral character, was born in Fujian Jiangle.

With writing books and lecturing as the thing, Southeast scholars were regarded as the authentic Cheng family. The learning of Zhu Xi and Zhang Shi all came from its source. Scholars are called Mr. Guishan. This inkstone is included in Volume IX of “Xiqing Inkstone Manual”. Cha She Inkstone valued Venus. However, the golden flowers and golden halos planted in the legend are different from the Venus of this inkstone.
