Chen Jichang was the son of Su Shi's old officer Chen Xiliang. He liked to talk about Buddhism and lived in seclusion between Huangzhou and Guangzhou in his later years.

Poe's book is thick, and it has been filled with ink, so it is inevitable to cover it with ink and pig comments. Only these two posts (New Year, People's Arrival) are what Du Lao said that the nine-fold true dragon will appear in a moment, and the eternal horses will be wiped out.
