About
The phrase composed of 7 characters come from a poem by Zhao Shixiu (1170-1219), native of Yongjia (today's Wenzhou of Zhejiang province), and the eighth generation of grandson of Emperor Song Taizu. [《和人韵赠北山僧》又得相逢閑寺裏，凡人多笑太无营。谁知见事心先懒，未说寻幽足已轻。二月春风添树色，一山夜雨失泉声。谢师更作重眠约，来往云消两日晴].
The side inscriptions include the carver's name Shigang, which can be Zhao Shigang (1874－1945), well-known painter, calligrapher, seal carver, educator and expert on ancient scripts.
