Inscriptions:
Presented in Spring to the Senior Mr. Yue.
The fields in the countryside are particularly lush, an opportune season for retirement.
The spring water remains among the rocks, watering the flowers and plants,
And the paradise on the seas, like spring, will not age.
The tall pine trees stands among the clouds,
The clamor of the human world cannot be heard here and this is a perfect place to sing.
Successful people are kind, generous and loved by the people.
Their nature wins them the admiration of the people,
Just like the lush and flourishing mountain green.
Your Junior, Yu Cheng Yao
