Catalogue Note

Song Luo's inscription:
Incense burns in the golden duck burner throughout the long summer day. Letting go of my books, I lean against the northern window to enjoy the cool breeze. At night, kingfishers stop on the branches outside. The gardenias have blossomed, infusing the whole garden with their fragrance.
On this winter day I leave my red curtains open. The sounds of rain drops surround the hall of music. The camellias are about to blossom and compete in beauty with the plum flowers. A pair of white-headed birds dwell there throughout the night.
