SteveM Posted August 20, 2023 Report Posted August 20, 2023 It's Chinese. It will require one of our Chinese speakers to translate 静防鹦鹉觉，立露过黄昏 4 Quote
mywei Posted August 20, 2023 Report Posted August 20, 2023 Good one Steve! On internet searching, this is a line from a poem by Yao Xie during the late Qing dynasty (Daoguang era) from his collection "6 poems on the recollection of Spring" 溯春词六章 These paintings were part of a collection done by Ren Xiong when he was staying at the residence of the poet Yao Xie You can see the original of yours (currently in the Palace Museum, Beijing) https://www.sohu.com/a/696208913_121123848 More proficient Chinese speakers please correct me, but my understanding of the line would be something like Being still/quiet lest the parrot wakes, Standing thus 'til the fall of dusk 5 Quote
