Wang Yansou (1043-1094), also known as Yanlin, was a native of Qingping (now Gaocheng, Shandong). He was extremely smart when he was young. At the age of eighteen, he ranked first in the provincial examinations, provincial examinations, and imperial exams, so he was also called the top one in the Three Yuan Dynasty. Zhezong succeeded to the throne as the supervisory censor, and moved to the right to become the prime minister, the privy minister and the direct bachelor, and signed the affairs of the academy. Skilled in calligraphy, the main calligraphy is vigorous and vigorous. He is the author of "Yi Shi Chun Qiu Biography" and "Han and Wei Gong Fai Lu".

Interpretation: Yansou suddenly opened his eyes to the distant Qing Dynasty, and became more and more interested in the hometown. From time to time, he humiliated the teachings of Fu Cheng. At the beginning of the opening of the mansion, he was comforted by all the blessings. Yan Shen looked forward to the future, only hoped to regulate his sleep and Xing, and relied on him as a deputy. I respectfully request that Yansou visit the magistrate again to appease Zuo Cheng on the 23rd
