御題和闐玉「前赤壁圖」
壬戌泛舟遊挈賓,
清秋赤壁景鮮新。
成圖那藉琢磨巧,
玉局原來玉樣人。
Inscription:
This Nephrite Jade is carved with an illustration of the Former Ode to the Red Cliff and an imperial poem [by Emperor Qianlong]
In the year of renxu, [Su Shi, 1037-1101] embarked on a boating with his guests.
The sight of the Red Cliff on a clear autumn day was inspiring and fresh.
The exquisite artistry [displayed on this jade] is not solely a testament to the carver's craftsmanship,
but equally a reflection on Yuju (Su Shi)'s virtue akin to that of jade.
