Written during the final exile of the Song toHangzhou,the poems celebrate the beauties and mysteries of nature, flora and fauna, much as the famed Song painters did. But they also querulously and wittily illuminate the annoyances and pleasures of everyday life.
He passed hisjinshiexams in 1154 (24th year of theShaoxing era) and served a number of minor official posts in the Song Dynasty.
