This poem, titled Narcissus, is recorded in Yuzhi
leshantang quanji dingben [Definitive edition of
the complete works by His Majesty from the Hall
of Pleasure in Goodness], Siku quanshu [The
complete library in four sections] ed., vol. 15, p.
13. The writings in this collection date from before
Qianlong became emperor. According to Neiwufu
Zaobanchu huoji dang [Archives of the Workshop
of the Imperial Household Department], four sets
of imperial poems were sent to the imperial kilns
in Jiangxi in the seventeenth year of the Qianlong
period (corresponding to 1752). Instead of the
old Leshantang poems, the Qianlong Emperor
ordered the superintendent Tang Ying to select
poems from the new sets for the porcelains made
thereafter. Therefore, the present wall vase was
very likely made no later than 1752.
