清香未减，风流不在人知

“清香未减”‌：形容是梅花的清香没有减少。这里的“清香”指的是高洁的品质。

‌“风流不在人知”‌：指的是人的高洁品质 才华不在乎是不是有别人知道。

To say that we are very excited for its birth, is an understatement.  This ZiSha work has too much going for it behind the scenes.  The years of careful limited use through the years, the rarity and preciousness of it, our Aunt Cao Lan Fang being the designated Artist to work on our family's rare Yuan Kuang Da Hong Pao all these years, and its remaining few bricks.  She is most familiar with this clay, much more so than even our Uncle Grand Master Cao Ya Lin, Grand Master Cao Yan Ping, and Premier Master and Senior Master Cao An Xiang.  Our Family tasks her to perform all the Yuan Kuang Da Hong Pao works at designated two to six year intervals for our patrons in China.

We welcome Mr Yan, to receive this.

Congratulations, Mr Yan, this is yours and your family to keep for generations.

Gratitude to you, from the Cao Familiy.
