From the Song Dynasty Huang Tingjian's "Tizi Zhan Dead Wood"
Put away Confucianism and ink, and the book will enter Yan Yang Hongyan.

Translation and annotation

Su Shi put on a powerful battle, criss-crossing between Confucianism and Mohism. His calligraphy is comparable to that of Yan Zhenqing and Yang Ningshi.
There are mountains and valleys in my chest, so I can draw the pride of the old board bending in the wind and frost.

Creation background
Song Zhezong Yuan You for three years (1088), the poet worked as Zuo Lang in the history museum. In spring, Su Shi paid tribute (the examiner) and the poet became his subordinate.
