- Inscription Artist’s Inscription (on top): I cannot sleep as the wave is tapping the sides of the boat. The luminous dew cleanses my garment. Filled with grief, my solitary boat sets out. I am united with the distant miles. In my melancholy I regard the beautiful grasses. The Qin transmits my hopes. As I strike the cords repeatedly, the moon begins to rise. All around is desolate, the river is cold and deep. Dedicated to Ailin. The third month of bingshen (1836). Zhenqin Liupeng. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
