The poem praising the rock reads:
A rock of the Undying, of the finest kind,
Every part of exquisite elegance.
Security and peace, good fortune and honour;
‘The fire in the furnace burns perfectly blue.’
The final line is a common phrase taken from alchemy and refers to perfection in any endeavour.
This bottle belongs to Zhou’s later years. The landscape is the typical masterly, complex painting of a country idyll, with much less left-over space than tended to appear in some of his earlier landscapes. The blue tones that dominate his middle period are muted, although they return occasionally throughout the rest of his career.
