Held up by three short legs, this bamboo carving possesses a round opening and a cylindrical abdominal. The rim is inlaid with a ring of rosewood. The literary pictures on the outer wall were carved by integrating the techniques of openwork and incision. An openwork technique is used to construct the appearance of a rocky mountain. With the full use of openwork, the outer appearance seems to possess a sense of visual penetration. Close-up, towering pines offset the ease of green peaks, and we are able to see a gathering of elegant women. Wearing graceful clothing, the noble people bear a sense of casual elegance. On the side, a child servant holds a string instrument whilst following them closely. The poetic scene of a cultured gathering plays out amongst a melody of clear strings.
