Description

Inscription: The immortal peaks rise as twins. The wise river now has a rival. Morning flowers are made bright and charming. At night, its light reflects the moon. The dragon coils around the jade disc. A pair of fabulous birds dance in harmony. It is said the Renshou era Was when the war began to end.
