Cen Can's Poems

Poems by Cen Can in Tang Dynasty: is like a spring gale, come up in the night, blowing open the petals of ten thousand pear trees.

"is like a spring gale, come up in the night, blowing open the petals of ten thousand pear trees" in a Song of White Snow in Farewell to Field-Clerk Wu Going Home is a classic. Every time I read this sentence, it seems that the cold in winter does not exist, and it is replaced by the warm spring breeze. This is a farewell poem, and the most touching is the last four sentences: we watch him through Wheel-Tower Gate going eastward, into the snow-mounds of Heaven-Peak Road. The mountain road twists and turns has not seen you, only to leave a row of horseshoe marks.

It was snowing heavily, and I rode my horse to see my friend leave, but I still didn't want to echo for a long time. I looked at the imprint left by my friend in an empty space, and all my disappointment and affection were gone. After I sent you away, I stayed in the same place for a long time.

Brief introduction of Cen Can:

Cen Can (718-769), a native of Jiangling, Jingzhou (now jiangling county, Hubei) or Jiyang, Nanyang (now Nanyang, Henan), was a poet in the Tang Dynasty, and was also called "Gao Cen" with Gao Shi.

Cen Can was born in a bureaucratic family. He was a scholar at the age of five and a scholar at the age of nine because of his intelligence and early wisdom. In the third year of Tianbao (744), Cen Can was the first scholar, and after three years, he was awarded the right to lead the government soldier Cao to join the army. After that, he joined the army twice, first serving as the secretary of the Gao Xianzhi shogunate of Anxi, and then as the judge of the Feng Changqing shogunate of Anxi in the last year of Tianbao.

when he was in Tang Daizong, Cen Can was the secretariat of Jiazhou (now Leshan City, Sichuan Province), so he was called "Cen Jiazhou" in the world. Cen Can died in Chengdu in the autumn and winter of about four years of Dali (769).
