"If you ask me, Chen Changsheng is nothing more than a fame-seeking fraud. He's just an ordinary Talented Scholar, yet he delusional thinks he can match the Poet Immortal with just five or six poems. He's treating us all like fools!"
"Exactly, exactly! Especially now that some people are actually insisting he's better than the Poet Immortal—it's utterly disgraceful. What right does Chen Changsheng have to be mentioned in the same breath as the Poet Immortal? Just because he's still alive?"
"His prose is one thing; the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng is indeed extraordinary, and it's true that not many of the Poet Immortal's prose works have survived. But as for poetry... I won't deny that Chen Changsheng's poems are handed-down masterpieces, but there are simply too few of them. Put them all together, and I doubt they could even compare to a single Chun Jiang Hua Yue Ye!"
