Catalogue Note
Artist's inscription:
Behind the Dragon Palace guards announce the dawn. At the jade hall one thousand officials watch for new signs in the heavens. As the year changes shame passes with the old days. Spring comes with the changing of time, so one comes across a new spring. Happy colors of dawn spread across the ecliptic plane like stove smoke drifting through the imperial court. The announcement of the New Year is always a time for grand occasion. How extremely fortunate is this minor official for such deep favor.
