刻文：
開泰說。陽交三而成泰。此劉琨柳宗元等開泰之說。所由昉乎。
泰者通也。又安也。小往大來。內陽外陰。與夫任下事上。君子小人之義。註易家論之詳矣。余以為泰之所以為泰，在九來居三。泰之九三。即乾之九三也。乾之九三曰。君子終日乾乾。夕惕若。蓋必有此乾乾惕厲。然後能安而弗危。通而弗塞。以常保其泰也。故本爻即曰。无平不陂。无往不復。使無乾惕之意。則平者陂。而往者復矣。又繼之曰。艱貞无咎。益深切而著明。蓋艱貞即乾惕也。必乾乾以知其艱。惕若以守其貞。然後得无咎兩爻。呼吸相通。無不於慄慄危懼。三致朂焉。元聖訓後世之意篤矣。凡觀象玩占者。皆當以是。為棘而有撫世御民之責之人。尤不可不凛淵氷而戒盈滿。袪安逸而謹思慮。庶幾恆守其泰。而不至失其道。以流入於否。後世賢臣。持盈保泰。憂盛危明之說。胥不外乎是爾。

The ram is a traditional emblem of good luck, since the Chinese term for ram (or goat), yang, is a homophone of yang, ‘sun’, and represents the male or positive principle in the yin-yang duality. The Chinese character for ram is also used as a variant for a similar character pronounced xiang, which means happiness. Three rams, san yang, are considered a particularly auspicious symbol, evoking the expression san yang kai tai, the awakening of nature in spring, which signifies good luck and happiness. San yang shen are the three yang spirits in Daoism, the ‘original spirit’, the ‘spirit that knows’, and the ‘real spirit’. In the Chinese lunar calendar san yang stands for the first month when Chinese New Year occurs. On the Eight Trigrams (bagua), the three continuous bars also represent san yang.
The Qianlong Emperor appears to have been particularly fond of the motif of the three rams (or goats), since during his reign it was frequently represented in two- and three-dimesional form; see for example a painting of three rams in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, notably inscribed with the same imperial prose as found on the present piece, illustrated in Chinese Paintings in the Palace Museum, Hong Kong, 1981, p.315.
