The motif of the lone sage in nature is entirely in
keeping with hermetic literati ideals. Compare with
a related bamboo tool vase, signed [Wu] Chifan,
17th/18th century, carved with Liuhai below a pine
tree, illustrated by Spink & Son Ltd., Bamboo and
Wood Carvings of China and the East, London,
1979, no.17.

松下高士乃傳統文人題材，以遺世纪獨立之風骨表現
文人逸士之高潔志趣，寄寓了回歸自我的理想生活
