Cangqiu was a literary name of Chen Zengshou, whose niece Chen Bangzhi was married to Zhao Puchu. Zhao's mother Chen Zhongxuan had a sworn sister named Guan Jingzhi, whose father Guan Tang was Chen Zengshou's teacher. Cangqiu taught Zhao how to write poems and Zhao's poetry conveys a simple and refreshing elegance. The 93-year-old gentleman manifested his unaffected, 'sinew' writing in this work in 1999.
