Creative background:

Liang Zhangju (1775-1849), a couplet master in the Qing Dynasty, was given the courtesy name Chenlin and his nickname Tuian. His ancestral home was Changle and he later moved to Fuzhou. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, he was a Jinshi, served as governor of Jiangsu and Jiangsu, and concurrently served as governor of Jiangsu and Jiangsu. He was an official with outstanding political achievements and deeply supported by the people. He was a good friend of Lin Zexu and a staunch anti-British and anti-smoking figure.

When he was the governor of Guangxi, he petitioned Wuzhou prefect Liu Xiyuan to remove his headband for failing to ban smoking, and angrily ordered Liu to arrest a large number of cigarette dealers to atone for his fault, showing that he wanted to "ban smoking". The wise idea is to clear up the source. While he was nursing the governor of Jiangsu, floods hit the Jiangsu and Huaihe Rivers, and more than 10,000 victims gathered along the river in southern Jiangsu every day. He rescued the victims and repaired water conservancy, showing his noble personality.

When he resigned due to illness and lived in Huanglou, Huangxiang, Fuzhou, he renovated Huanglou with a cultural poetic heart and added pavilions, terraces, pavilions, rockeries and fish ponds in the flower hall. The half pavilion that remains on the rockery is still praised by experts in ancient architecture for its wonderful shape and exquisite components. In Huanglou, Liang Zhangju and Fuzhou literati's poems and poems were compiled into a volume. He wrote nearly 70 kinds of poems in his life. Lin Zexu said: No one in the official field has written more abundantly than Zhang Ju.
