In this scroll, Zhao Puchu wrote several poems composed by Li He, a Tang-dynasty poet. Although the scroll is not dated, we can still infer from its good brushwork strength and state of maturity that it was created in Zhao's later years. Compared to his other works, this scroll has characters constructed in slender shapes featuring densely-arranged strokes at their centers, sort of like Huang Tingjian's genre. Zhao's calligraphic expression agrees perfectly with the text of Li He's poems, indicating his great learning in poetry and calligraphy.
