《木如意》

Wooden Ruyi

落款：意所夫何自，如能又底因。安名诚大幻，成器具天真。秃兀生机息，昂藏古貌淳。魏徵纵疏慢，妩媚乃宜人。

Inscription: I don’t know if Ruyi can grant your wishes, or why it does. Its name is just an illusion, but itself is so true and pure. It seems to be a lifeless and bald object, within which I see its profound charm. The famous politician Wei Zheng may be condescending towards Emperor Tai Zong, he still praised him for being charming and pleasant.
