This running-script scroll contains Chen Zengshou's poem Fallen Flowers and several other poems including Yuefu poetry. Zhao Puchu learned composing poetry from his teacher Chen Zengshou in Shanghai in the 1930s. The calligraphic scroll, written in a style following both Su Dongpo and Mi Fu's heritage, is a combination of brushwork norms with variations and deftness with some clumsiness. The work was dated 1992 when Zhao was eighty-six.
