Han Zhi did not participate in either the third or the fourth ci poem. After all, if he joined in every single time, wouldn't that drive the opposing side to distraction?
However, for this fifth ci poem, set to the tune of "Nian Nu Jiao", an Yingtian Prefecture student whose name was unknown stepped forward first. Han Zhi and Su Zhen assumed it was simply the poetry gathering continuing as usual, and thus paid it little mind.
