Chapter 719: A Butterfly’s Love for a Flower in Chinese Painting

The courtyard is deep, how deep it is...

Wu Ji felt the disparity as soon as he read the first line of Xian Yu's "A Butterfly's Love for a Flower".

And on Earth,

Some say this poem was Ouyang Xiu's work, others claim it was written by Feng Yansi. It's quite normal for there to be disputes over the origins of ancient works.

Miss Li Qingzhao believed it was a work of Ouyang Xiu.

She held this poem in high esteem and even quoted it in her own work;

Wang Guowei also liked this poem, though he tended to think it was Feng Yansi's work.

There might be controversy over who the author was, but there was none about the quality of the poem itself.

After reading the entire poem, Wu Ji sighed lightly.

He knew that when contemporary literati created "A Butterfly's Love for a Flower", he was no longer in the top three.

"This Xian Yu, his literary talent is certainly extraordinary."

This was not the first time Xian Yu had created a work of poetry.
