Inside Story

These three poems were originally written by Yen Chenching and Su Shih (Su Tungpo) and transcribed by Tung Chichang. The first one is a letter Yen Chenching wrote to a friend for borrowing some rice. The second one is to thank a friend for giving medicine to his wife who was sick . The third one depicts a friend paid a visit to Tungpo and cooked a delicious meal for him; he also described the magnificent landscape of Mt. Taihang and hoped Tungpo could move there to stay with him.
