Ban Zhao
Ban Zhao, one of the most famous female poets of Chinese history, wrote a well-known "fu" during the reign of Emperor He of Han entitled ""Fu" on the Great Bird" ("Dà què fù" ), believed to be a description of an ostrich brought to the Han court from Parthia around AD 110. Scholar Ma Rong wrote two well-known "fu" on ancient board games: his ""Fu" on Chaupar" ("Chūpú fù" ), which the Chinese believed to actually have been invented by Laozi after he departed west out of China, and his ""Fu" on Encirclement Chess" ("Wěiqí fù" ), one of the earliest known descriptions of the game Go. Han dynasty librarian Wang Yi, best known as the compiler of the received version of the "Verses of Chu", wrote several object-description "fu" in the early 2nd century AD, such as ""Fu" on the Lychee" ("Lìzhī fù" ), the earliest known poetic description of the lychee fruit.
