Translation:
Pine, plum, and bamboo are known as the Three Friends, their verdant beauty enduring the cold of winter.
I fear that human relationships are easily fickle, so I instructed you to write them down in paintings.
Inscription: This is a tin tea caddy engraved by Zhuting Jushi. It has a slightly constricted mouth and a rounded lid with a rounded rim for a more comfortable grip. It features rounded shoulders, an arched belly, and tapers inwards towards the base, with a raised ridge on the lower side of the shoulder. The belly is engraved with the "Three Friends of Winter"—pine, bamboo, and plum—expressing their resilience against wind and snow, and their fearlessness in the face of frost, reflecting the qualities and integrity of a scholar. The engraving technique is skillful and masterful, vividly portraying the spirit of the ancient pine, the secluded bamboo, and the solitary plum.
