Send Ten Fans to Xu Tian is a seven-character poem by Huang Tingjian, a poet in the Song Dynasty. The original text is:
The poor goose is adjacent to the wall, and the poor poem is around the beam. I don't like sitting on the guest's carpet. The sofa is cool without a fan in summer.
The students in the party are very obedient, and the Jian' an Seven Heroes are great. It is not good to send slaves, for fear of having good guests and going to court.

Song Sijia's introduction:
Song Sijia is the collective name of four calligraphers, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei and Cai Xiang, in the Northern Song Dynasty in China. These four people can generally represent the calligraphy style of the Song Dynasty and have the highest achievements, so they are called "Song Sijia".
Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, some people thought that "Cai" should be Cai Jing. Later generations looked down on him, so they changed Cai Jing to Cai Xiang and thought that Cai Xiang's artistic achievements were above Cai Jing.
