Cui Hao was born in Bianzhou (AD 704? -754) Tang Xuanzong was a scholar in Kaiyuan 1 1 year (AD 723). He is quick-witted and good at writing poems, and he is a poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Wen Yuan Biography of Old Tang Dynasty compares him with Wang Changling, Gao Shi and Meng Haoran, but his official career is ups and downs, and he will never succeed. There are few accounts about him in history, and there are few legends and stories about him handed down in his hometown Bianzhou. Tang Hao's old biography is so brief that even his literary achievements are not mentioned.
Cui Hao lived in Kaifeng as a teenager. There are different opinions about the time when he left his hometown for Chang 'an for scientific research. Song Chen Sunzhen's "The Problem of Jiezhizhai" (Volume 19) notes that "Tang Sixun, Foreign Minister, was a scholar in the tenth year of Kaiyuan". Yuan Xinwen's Biography of Talented Scholars in Tang Dynasty said that he was a scholar in the 11th year of Kaiyuan.
Cui Hao's Ten-year Poetry of Zheng De notes that Yao Chongsheng was a scholar in the 12th year of Kaiyuan. No matter which statement is correct, Cui Hao was only 18 ~ 20 years old when he entered Jinshi. (According to Mr. Wen Yiduo's Series of Tang Poems, he thinks that Jinshi is very young around the age of 20, and 18 is a little young, so Mr. Wen Yiduo said that Cui Hao's birth date can be pushed back to around 700 AD.
But because he was eager for fame, he returned to Chang 'an, died in the 13th year of Tang Tianbao (754), and never returned to his hometown. This may be the main reason why Cui Hao's story has not been widely circulated in Kaifeng. However, as Kaifeng people, while doing a good job in today's cultural industry, we should have a comprehensive, correct and appropriate understanding of Cui Hao and give an appropriate evaluation.
Yellow crane tower is as follows
Author: Cui Hao [Tang Dynasty]
The fairy of the past has flown away by the yellow crane, leaving only an empty Yellow Crane Tower.
The yellow crane never revisited earth, there have been no long white clouds for thousands of years.
Every tree in Hanyang has become clear due to sunlight, and Nautilus Island is covered with sweet grass.
But I looked home, and the twilight was getting thicker. The river is shrouded in mist, which brings people deep melancholy.
