Dynasty: Tang Dynasty | Author: Cen Can
Silent in the face of the glass, I am full of melancholy to see you off today. The era when talented masters were not reused suddenly ended.
Going to the south of the Yangtze River to be an official has experienced thousands of miles of wind and rain. Gentlemen, the court is full. Only you are crossing the Huaihe River.
My family used to live by the Fuchun River, and I often recall the tall buildings by the river. I have been paying attention to Xuzhou in the south since I heard that you are leaving.
The lonely lane and the lonely door are closed, and the night cold lights still shine in the house. The north wind is blowing light snow, holding the quilt to accompany the bed.
You take this road to Jingkou, just when the peach blossoms are in full bloom. The boat will be happy and a new poem will be written on the lake.
Autumn is too long to dive deep, and yellow swans fly high, no matter in the morning or evening. Please cherish your Qingyun and try to eat more.
Cen Can (about 7 15-770), a frontier poet in Tang Dynasty, was born in Nanyang, the great-grandson of Cen Wenben, a hero of Emperor Taizong's reign, and later moved to Jiangling. Cen Can was lonely and poor in his early years. He learns from his brother and reads history books. In the third year of Tianbao (744), he was a scholar. At first, Cao joined the army as a government soldier. After joining the army twice, he first served as the secretary of the shogunate of Gao Xianzhi in Anxi. At the end of Tianbao, Feng Changqing was the judge of the shogunate when he was the minister of Anxi North Hospital. During the reign of Emperor Zong, Zeng Guan was the secretariat of history, and the world called Cen Jiazhou. He died in Chengdu in the fifth year of Dali (770).
His poems are longer than seven-character metrical poems, and his masterpiece is Song of Snow to Send Tian Shuji Wu Home. There are 360 existing poems. He has cordial feelings for frontier fortress scenery, military life and cultural customs of ethnic minorities, so his frontier fortress poems are particularly excellent. The style is similar to that of Gao Shi, and later generations often call it "Gao Cen". There are ten volumes in The Collection of Cen Can, which have been lost. There are seven volumes (or eight volumes) of Cenjiazhou Collection. The Complete Tang Poetry consists of four volumes.
