Fu Shan (1605-90) brushed this poem composed by the exemplary Eastern Jing (317-420) calligrapher, Wang Xianzhi (344-388). Fu Shan, who came from the city of Taiyuan in Shanxi Province, studied the calligraphic styles of the Jin (265-420) and Tang (618-907) dynasties. He was particularly known for his cursive grass script (Ch., caoshu). He collected many stone engravings of calligraphic works, and was an expert in appraising calligraphy.
