Wu Lizhi
Southern Song ci poet from Qiantang, courtesy name Zihe and sobriquet Old Man Shunshou, whose five-scroll ci collection was prefaced by Zheng Fuguo; his Xi Qian Ying on the intercalary Lantern Festival is anthologized.
In a study at night, a desk holds a brush pot, a porcelain vase with a plum branch, a lit red lantern, a folded fan and an unrolled blank scroll, with no one seated there, while through a round window the moon rises over a lake with a sailboat.
Also known as Courtesy name Zihe · Old Man Shunshou
