Feng Zizhen (1257 - after 1337) is also known by his zi (designated name) Zizhen and hao (literary name) Haisu. Native to You county in Hunan province, he worked as a literary consultant in the Jixian Hall in the court. He was adept in running script and inherited the Song dynasty calligraphy that valued expressive aesthetics. This work is his Poem with Preface for Zhu Junbi, written with firm and strong brushstrokes. Zhu Yu, also known by his zi Junbi, was adept in painting. This scroll was written in the fourth (1327) year of the Taiding era when Feng Zizhen was 71.
