Ji Nan (1760-1834) was an official from Jiaxing, Zhejiang province, where he had a garden called Yiyu cao tang. Ji was noted for his writing and poetry, as well as for his love of gardening. He was also a painter of note, especially for his paintings of prunus blossoms, which he painted red.
The poem may be translated as follows:
The poem may be translated as follows:
This person arrived at the Fenghuang Pond;
Always craving fame, but too late for regrets.
Imitating well the new style of Yutang.
When is the time to sing peacefully?
The inscription mentions the Fenghuang Pond, which used to be located within the Forbidden City, and the Yutang, another name of the Hanlin Academy; hence the poem appears to express the daunting ambitions of scholars and their need for peacefulness and quietness. See an inkstone with a related design, with an inscription by Xu Dinghe (1834-1911) and a cyclical date corresponding to 1873, in the National Museum of History, Taipei, illustrated in Inkstones Through the Ages, Taipei, 1998, p. 129.
