拍品資料及來源
The inscription may be freely translated as such:
Its moulded well exists surely for the need to grind ink,
And as for where the inkstone comes from, it’s none other than Master Ink.
This new style has nothing to do with some skilful craftsman’s chance to boast,
For one can recognize that its special form exists in the very way thought works.
Though the source of their need to consort is yet so distant in time,
Host and guest now forget one another and none ever contends.
Since like attracts like, the attraction is certainly here,
So what is ground out with such mutual cooperation comes from Nature Itself.

The inscription continues:
Liu Yuan was someone who lived during the early years of the Kangxi era. Stored in the imperial treasury are antique ink pieces made by him, among which are some in the shape of an inkstone. I have thus had these lines inscribed on it. Inscribed by the Qianlong Emperor in the 2nd decade of the 2nd month of spring in the year gengyin of the Qianlong Era.
