According to an enclosed French translation these paintings belonged to general Yuan Shaoming, nephew of the first president of the Republic of China and Emperor Hung Hsien (Hong Xian). The paintings were supposedly painted by Mr Shiao Ch'ih (Xiao Chi) and title characters were calligraphed by Yu Shou-t'ung (Yu Shoutong).
The paintings are loose unrelated depictions of daily activities, such as two neighbours chatting about the cold weather, three workers with their ox on their way to plough the land and a woman showing the way to pick mulberry leaves to feed the silk worms. Each with a short calligraphic text and on the right page a larger text. Also at the beginning and end several pages of calligraphy.

【描述】
根据附带的法文翻译，这些画作属于袁世凯的侄子、中华民国首任总统兼洪宪皇帝袁世明。据说这些画作由萧启先生绘制，题字由余寿同书写。
这些画作是松散的日常生活描绘，如两个邻居谈论寒冷天气、三个工人带着牛去耕地、一个女人展示如何采摘桑叶喂养蚕虫。每幅画都有简短的书法文字，并在右侧页面上有较大的文字。此外，在开头和结尾还有几页书法。
