The present inkstone bears the signature of Zhuanxian, who is probably Zha Chun, a Manchu from Beijing who lived in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In 1799, Zha published the seal collection of his father, Zha Li (1715-1783) titled Tonggu Shu Tang cang yin [Seal collection from the Study Hall of Tonggu]. The identity of Nianxiang remains a matter of debate although he would have been a contemporary of Zha Chun.
The fine zitanbox is carved with a line from a poem by Li He (790-816) titled ‘Song on Master Yang’s Green-Mottled Purple-Stone Inkstone’. In this version, however, two characters are changed. The poem may be translated as follows:
It is followed by the inscription meng gao wei Zhuonong jiu xiong juan xia ('box carved for ninth brother, Zhuonong, in the beginning of the fifth lunar month').
