Creation background
In March of the 4th year of Yuanhe (809), Yuan Zhen was appointed as the supervisor and sent to Dongchuan. He is thirty years old, and his wife Webster is still alive.

Brief introduction of the author
Yuan Zhen (779-83 1) is a subtle word. Luoyang (now Luoyang, Henan Province) was born in the middle Tang Dynasty. Chang 'an (now Xi, Shaanxi) was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. When I was a child, my family was poor. At the age of fifteen, I showed my classic for the first time. Zhenyuan is a scholar, who once supervised the imperial history, awarded the school book lang and stayed in Tibet. He is outspoken and dares to fight against evil forces. After being demoted, he turned to compromise with eunuchs and worshipped each other.
As the same as Bai Juyi in literature, he is known as the "Bai Yuan" in the world and the leader of the New Yuefu Movement. His works reveal social contradictions and reflect the sufferings of people's livelihood to a certain extent, but the breadth and depth of his poems are not as good as Bai Juyi's. His works include Biography of Yuanyang and Changqing Collection of Yuanshi County.
