Inscriptions

Poem:

彩鸞寫韻
寫韻辛勤已十年，龍鱗裝褙到公權。于今跨虎歸山去，別作雙雙世外仙。
墨琴
Cailuan Copied the Rhyme Dictionary
For more than ten years she toiled, copying out rhyme dictionaries,
Bound in “dragon-scale format,” they were sold to afford relief to the scholar.
Now it was time to ride on the tiger’s back and return to the mountain abode,
Having left the earth, she and her beloved lived like a pair of immortals.
[Signed] Moqin
