Notes from Huntington Library:
The Clear and Transcendent pavilion (Qing Yue Tai) 清越臺 is also ornamented with carved panels of blond ginkgo wood depicting Chinese musical instruments (another reference to the performances that will take place there), auspicious symbols such as the mushroom (representing longevity), and exquisitely worked scenes from The Peony Pavilion. Specially commissioned calligraphic panels of memorable couplets from The Peony Pavilion also adorn the structure. The Waveless Boat pavilion is equally rich in unique carvings and calligraphic panels. Eleven calligraphers contributed to the project—two from Suzhou, four from Hong Kong, and five from Los Angeles.
One of the couplets: 春望逍遙出畫堂 間梅遮柳不勝芳
