"Zhang Shuibu in the Recent Examination" is a seven-character quatrain written by Zhu Qingyu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The poet was once appreciated by Zhang Ji, and Zhang Ji was willing to recommend his juniors, so the poet wrote it before taking the exam. This poem is dedicated to him as a solicitation for advice.
The original poem is:
The red candles were lit in the bridal chamber last night, waiting to pay homage to my uncle and aunt in front of the dawn hall.
After putting on makeup, I asked my husband in a low voice, "How dark is my eyebrows?"
Zhang Ji gave a clear answer. In "Rewarding Zhu Qingyu", he wrote:
"The Yue girl appears in new makeup, knowing that she is bright and beautiful, and even more contemplative.
Qi Wan was not as noble as he was when he was young, and he sang a song. "The enemy of song is ten thousand gold."
Since Zhu's gift poem is written in analogy style, so is Zhang's reply poem. In this poem, he compares Zhu Qingyu to a girl named Lingcai. She is beautiful and has a good singing voice. Therefore, she must be praised by people, implying that he does not need to worry about this exam.
