It is no coincidence that the God of Longevity, Shoulao, is often depicted in the shade of a pine tree, thus reinforcing the auspicious wish for a long life for the recipient of the artwork. It is also no coincidence that scholar gatherings are often represented in a pine grove, or in woods dotted with various species of pine trees.Blooming through ice to herald the spring, the plum blossom is one of the most beloved flowers in Chinese art, symbolising the winter, but also inner beauty and humble display in adverse condition. It is often depicted on its own, or part of other important groups of flowers or rebuses, such as ‘the four gentlemen’, ‘the three friends of winter’, or ‘prunus on ice crackle’. Growing on gnarled old branches, looking fresh and pure, plum blossoms can also symbolise vigour in old age.Chrysanthemum, beautiful and colourful, represents autumn. As it blooms in autumn when all other flowers are fading away, it symbolises the ability to withstand adversity. It is tranquil and harmonious with others, but also dignified and indomitable.Known in Chinese as ‘Southern Heavily Bamboo’ (nantianzhu 南天竹), the Nandina berry is a popular subject matter in Chinese art, both for the sonority of its name, where the similarity of the words ‘bamboo’ (zhu 竹) and ‘wish’ (zhu 祝) make it especially suitable for visual puns, but also for its abundance of red berries which symbolises fertility, and is a perfect allegory for having many sons (zi 子).Narcissus, in Chinese shuixian 水仙, literally 'water immortal', was a plant beloved of Emperor Yongzheng, who was depicted admiring it in his garden, in the album Shuzhai xiejing, 'Copying Sutras in the Studio', in the album leave series entitled Yongzheng xingle tu, 'Emperor Yongzheng at Play'. In China, it blooms late winter, or early spring, thus becoming associated with Chinese New Year. Since it includes the word for 'Immortal' (xian 仙) in its name, it is also associated with a wish for longevity. When seen together with of Nandina berries,  tianzhu 天竺, fungus, lingzhi 靈芝, and rockworks, shoushi 壽石, it forms the pun 'May the immortality of the fungus congratulate you on your birthday and bestow longevity', zhixian zhushou 芝仙祝壽.The plant of Rhodea Japonica, with its tight cluster of red berries, also expresses the wish for fertility and male progeny.. Interestingly, this plant became a popular subject matter in art from the 18th century. As a Chinese evergreen, its name ‘wannianqing’ (萬年青) literally means ‘Ten thousand years green’,  where the word green (qing 青) is a homophone with Qing dynasty (清), thus doubling up as a wish of longevity to the Emperor and his dynasty.Condition Report: Both panels with areas of cracking to the centre. Chrysanthemum with loss to one leaf, one of the stands on the same panel with cracking through the middle.General areas of cracking and small losses to the inlay. Some of the inlay may have been reset and partly replaced, as there is evident overpainting in the areas surrounding the inlay.Some natural fissures and cracks in the hardstones.

As it blooms in autumn when all other flowers are fading away, it symbolises the ability to withstand adversity. It is tranquil and harmonious with others, but also dignified and indomitable.The multi-layered nature of its delicate petals make it a particularly technically challenging, yet desirable, form to achieve with jade or porcelain carving. The type of carving on the present lot, with several rows of narrow lappets, can be found on a number of Mughal-style jade carvings.Cf. a large green jade dish (25.4 cm) carved in similar fashion, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum - Jadeware III, Hong Kong, 1995, p. 246, no. 201, where it is dated to the Qing dynasty.
