Huang Shu is the father of Huang Tingjian, a famous writer and calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty. According to relevant data, "Huang wrote poems and advocated learning from Han Yu, not learning and not making good words." The Summary of Siku also records: "The study of Han Yu, who is firm in the imperial court, was actually initiated by ordinary people." Huang Shu once compiled the Collection of Cutting Tan, and the Records of Song History and Arts recorded six volumes of Huang Shu's Collection, which has now been lost. There are two existing volumes of Chop Tan Ji, which were edited by Huang You when he was an official in Qingzhou for five years (1053). This poem records the spring tide in Shouguang County in the fifth year of Emperor's reign.

According to the poem, during the disaster relief, Li Ziyi "traveled a hundred miles a day and was too tired to eat or drink." It describes Li Ziyi's hard work for the people, forgetting to eat and sleep, and getting haggard day by day, and expresses the poet Huang Shu's concern and love for his colleagues. From their experiences, it is not difficult to see the close relationship between them. Li Ziyi and Huang Shu were both Jinshi in the second year (1042), both officials in Qingzhou, and both worked in the Wen Yanbo shogunate. Hu Sannian went out of Xuchang with Wen Yanbo. In five years, Hu was sent by Wen Yanbo to Shouguang and Qiancheng (now Gaoqing and Boxing) for disaster relief.
