Commentary
We are presently evaluating new evidence suggesting that Li Junting's name is properly read Li Yunting and that he is to be identified as the late-nineteenth-century Yangzhou philanthropist Li Weizhi. See lot 119 in this sale for more details. While waiting for our reassessment to be completed, the reader who wishes to trace some of the many bottles associated with the school or movement in question is invited to peruse the commentary and references under Treasury 5, no. 1008.

說明：
因為我們正在分析新的資料，擬定李勻亭、李均亭、李韵亭都是同一個人，而那個人就是十九世紀後期揚州慈善家李維之，對這一流派的看法都要仔細地反思，要重新考慮這個流派的發展。暫且，要探索相關的鼻煙壺、讀讀對它們的現今了解，請參閱Treasury 5，編號1008的論述，此不做贅述。
