He used to be a doctor of examination and a bachelor of Hanlin, and was one of the "Top Ten Talents in Dali". He has written many poems about tea banquets and tea parties, one of which is "Tea Banquet with Zhao Ju": "Under the bamboo, I forget to say purple tea, and all the guests are drunk, and it is difficult to enjoy the dust, and the cicadas are swaying." Since then, some literati often invite three or five confidants, in exquisite and tidy rooms or among flowers and trees.
