English: "In the autumn of 1751, the Qianlong emperor accompanied Empress Dowager Chongqing on a tour of the summer mountain retreat. Qianlong also traveled to the Mulan hunting grounds, where he was entertained to a banquet by Mongolian nobility. The Mongol Taiyiji presented a roe deer as an offering, its fur as white as snow and eyes sparkling red. According to Ge Hong’s (283-343) Baopuzi, the deer has a lifespan of a thousand years, turning white after reaching the age of 500. In this painting, the white roe deer has large ears and eyes, a long neck, and a short tail, serving as a symbol of good fortune and nobility as well. (...) Castiglione painted the animal, while the rocks, slope, mahogany, and spirit fungus were added by another court artist, Yao Wenhan (fl. ca. 1742-1789)." ([1]4th painting)
