The peony decoration represents the fourth lunar month. The
inscription is taken from the poem, Peony, by the Tang dynasty
poet Han Cong, which reads 'Xiao yan yuan fen jin zhang lu,
chun feng shen re yu tang feng' (the radiant peony is worthy of the
Immortals' dew; its fragrance is carried far on the spring breeze
from the palatial halls).
