Richardson notes that serpents play a positive role in Chinese culture history that is betrayed on the Chinese vase, as it is shown to be monstrous, ugly, and gaudy. Similarly to the poem "The Song of the 'Chinese Nightingale'", this poem sheds light on Chinese culture in a respectable way, highlighting its important images and artistic techniques showing that the author, a Westhampton College woman, has an interest in Chinese culture.
