Zhao Shanqing styled Wenxian, or Wenbao, was born to the east of Raozhou (belonging to today's Jiangxi). Twenty-nine short lyrics of his have survived, many of which are snapshots of landscape or expressions of his personal feeling. He pays particular attention to the diction and sentence structure, and employs skillfully parallel couplets. The style of his poetry is either fresh and elegant or deep and desolate.
赵善庆 字文贤，一作文宝，饶州东（今属江西）人。散曲现存小令二十九首，多写景抒怀之作，善于锤炼字句，对仗工整，格调清新秀雅，或深沉苍凉。
Meditation on Antiquity on a Spring Day to the tune of Person Leaning on the Railing
凭阑人·春日怀古
Evening clouds stroll over the Brass Phoenix Tower,
铜雀台空锁暮云，
Deserted Golden Valley Garden is buried in dust deep.
金谷园荒成路尘。
One thousand springs have passed like a sudden shower,
转头千载春，
Generation after generation, heart-broken people are heard to weep.
断肠几辈人。
