About the author:

Yan Shu (also known as Yan Yuanxian, 991 to February 27, 1055), courtesy name Tongshu, was born in Linchuan, Fuzhou (now Yunzhuan County, Jinxian, Jiangxi) Wengang Town), a famous writer and politician in the Northern Song Dynasty. He and his seventh son Yan Jidao were called "Dayan" and "Xiaoyan", and together with Ouyang Xiu, they were called "Yan Ou". Yan Shu entered the examination as a child prodigy at the age of 14. He was born as a Jinshi and became Minister of the Ministry of War.

He is famous in the literary world for his poetry, and is especially good at Xiaoling. His style is subtle and graceful. He wrote more than 10,000 lyrics in his life, but only the fragments of "Zhu Yu Ci", "Yan Yuan's Posthumous Documents" and "Lei Yao" survive. In 1055, he died of illness and was defeated in Beijing. He was granted the title of Duke of Linzi and his posthumous title of Yuanxian.

Yan Shu has been smart and studious since he was a child. He is known as a "child prodigy" for being able to create at the age of 5. In the first year of Jingde (1004), Zhang Zhibai, the governor of Jiangnan, heard about this and recommended him as a child prodigy. The following year, 14-year-old Yan Shu entered the palace to take the exam at the same time as thousands of candidates from all over the country. Yan Shu looked undaunted and quickly completed the answer sheet with a pen. He was praised by Zhenzong and given the same background as a Jinshi.

Prime Minister Kou Zhun said: "Yan Shu is a foreigner." The emperor replied: "Isn't Zhang Jiuling a foreigner?" Two days later, there were exams for poems, poems, and essays. Yan Shu went up and said "I have done these questions before, please test me with other questions." His sincerity and talent were even more appreciated by Zhenzong, who granted him the title of secretary to save business and stayed in the Secret Pavilion to study for further study. He was diligent in study and prudent in making friends, and won the respect of Chen Pengnian from the Chinese Embassy. In the third year, he passed the examination and was appointed as the minister of ceremony in Taichang Temple.
