Ruan Yuan (1764-1849), also known by his sobriquet, Boyuan, and his style name, Yuntai, came from the city of Yizheng, Jiangsu Province. He passed the official bureaucratic exam in 1689 (Qianlong 54), and was a prominent scholar of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) who fostered many talented individuals. An authority on the stone-engraving script (Ch., jinshi), he expanded on various theories of the historical development of Chinese calligraphy in his treatises, Beibei nantie lun and Nanbei shupai lun, which traced the origins of the northern stone-engraving script and the southern documentary script, concluding that the former was the orthodox style. This poem composed by Ruan Yuan was inspired by the Northern Song (960-1127) literatus, Su Shih's (1036-1101) poem, "Nine Flowers in a Vase" (Huzong jiuhua), which was engraved on an unusual stone called Brilliant White Jewel" (bai linglong).
