Note du spécialiste

The recipient of this work was surnamed Chen. Chen was likely from the famous Chen clan of the Shaoxing Lake Jian Qingshui Zha village. In the eighth year of the Tongzhi reign (1869), the Chen family established the “Qianyu Sauce Company”, which became one of the largest at the time.
