Hello, I’m hoping to identify the artist’s seal and inscription on a Chinese painting I own. I’d appreciate any insight into the translation, artist, or period. Thank you. Kasia

玉井開花十丈長
仙人游戲費平章
若為藕大如船様
万斛愁思不可量
此當年大千爰翁游華山作
二十一世紀第六十天
晏偉聰　秊八十八歳

The Jade Well Lotus blossoms are ten feet long,
immortals play and pay tribute there.
If a lotus root were as large as a boat,
its weight in sorrow would be immerse.
At the same age, Master Daqian Yuan visited Mt. Hua and painted.
On the sixtieth day of the twenty-first century.
