Kangxi-Yongzheng period, 9.9 x 9.9 x 16.4 cm.
Collection of the Palace Museum, Beijing
圖一 清康熙 / 雍正
北京故宮博物院藏品
向為宮廷御印所選用，這從北京故宮博物院所藏康熙皇帝御
賜芙蓉石寶璽「御賜朗吟閣寶」可作證明（圖一）。寶藪中
記載此印材質為洞石，是印材出身良好的一個佐證。乾隆時
期洞口坍塌，不復生產，到了近代才再鑿礦開採。此印不但
石質上乘，並且體材碩大，是難得一見的洞石精品，又是乾
隆皇帝御用的寶璽，實為不可多得的藏品。

芙蓉「御賜朗吟閣寶」璽 9.9 x 9.9 x 16.4 公分
was mined from Jiangjundong (General Cave). Jiangjundong
is situated at the top of Jialiang mountain in Fujian. This is
an old mine dated to the early Qing period, and produced
some of the best furong ever recorded. Stones from this mine
were selected to be tribute to the court as early as the Kangxi
period, and the imperial seal given by Kangxi to Yongzheng,
yuci langyin ge bao, was made from the furong of this mine.
(fig. 1) In Qianlong’s seal compendium, it is recorded that this seal
is made of ‘dongshi’ (cave stone), further proof of its fine pedigree.
Unfortunately, this cave collapsed during the Qianlong period
and mining ceased at this site, only reopening in recent years. Not
only is the quality of the material of the current seal excellent, its
exceptionally large size makes it very rare amongst stones from the
Jiangjundong mine. The combination of this exceptional material
and its use as Qianlong’s personal seal makes it a rare treasure for
collectors of imperial works of art.
