拍品資料及來源
The four-line inscription is excerpted from the biography of Xie Hui (late 5th - early 6th centuries) and recorded as being said by him in Nanshi [History of the Southern Dynasties, 420-589], Beijing, 1975, 20:560.
The quote can be translated as:
'The only one to enter my chamber / is but the fresh breeze / And the only one to drink with me / is but the bright moon.'
The other inscribed characters gusong (‘ancient pine’) do not correlate to the aforementioned inscription and is likely to be referring to the wood itself.
