Volume II of this manual, published in 1882, is a testament to the intricate and profound appreciation of orchids in Chinese culture. Leaf 1a and 1b of this volume are particularly noteworthy for their exquisite detail and artistic merit.

Master Shen Fengchi was a renowned scholar and artist of the late Qing Dynasty, whose expertise in botany and traditional Chinese painting allowed him to create works that were both scientifically valuable and aesthetically pleasing. His "Orchid Manual" is not merely a botanical text but also a cultural artifact that reflects the deep-seated reverence for orchids in Chinese society. Orchids have long been symbols of nobility, elegance, and moral integrity in Chinese literature and art, and Shen's work captures these qualities with remarkable precision.

Leaf 1a and 1b of Volume II feature detailed illustrations of various orchid species, accompanied by meticulous descriptions. These leaves are characterized by their delicate brushwork and the use of traditional Chinese painting techniques, which emphasize the natural beauty and unique characteristics of each orchid. The illustrations are complemented by Shen's insightful commentary, which provides information on the cultivation, care, and symbolic meanings of the orchids depicted.
