According to the unearthed articles from the Tiger Cave Kiln in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, we can see that this article is a temporary imitation of the celadon string shaped bottle from the official kilns of the Southern Song Dynasty. The bottom is engraved with Emperor Qianlong’s “Chanting the Seven Strings Imperial Kiln Bottle”: “The seven strings are made secretly in Yixiu, and the pottery is made in the second life. The seven strings are in the ancient style, and the two holes are arranged horizontally. Pick up the fragrance, and draw the ring and instrument. Don’t be afraid of the difficulty of moving, and there is a clear sound when you touch them.” The imperial poem. At the end of the poem, the chronicle of “Emperor Qianlong’s second half of the reign in mid spring” was signed (the fortieth year of Qianlong’s reign: 1775), and two seals of “knowing the heart is not far away” and “virtue is sufficient” were affixed.
