Meaning of "To Jia Dao": After Meng Jiao's death, he was buried in Beimang Mountain. Since then, the changes in the world have temporarily stopped. God was worried that the article would be completely cut off, so Jia Dao was born again. To Jia Dao is a seven-character quatrain written by Han Yu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.
Meng Jiao's introduction:
Meng Jiao is a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, and his masterpieces include Ode to a Wanderer and After Graduation from University. Meng Jiao made two attempts to become a scholar. He was a scholar at the age of forty-six, and once served as a county commandant in Liyang. Unable to realize his ambition, he wandered among fairies and wrote poems.
In the ninth year of Yuanhe, Zheng Yuqing called him up to join the army again in Xingyuan House, but he took his wife to Kanxiang County (now Lingbao, Henan Province), died of a sudden illness and was buried in Luoyang East and Meng Jiao offices. Because most of his poems describe the cold world and the sufferings of the people, he is known as the "poet's prison" and is also known as the "thin suburban island" with Jia Dao. A thin book on the outskirts of the island refers to the solitary poetic style of Meng Jiao and Jia Dao. Later it was used to describe the similar artistic conception of poetry.
Han Yu's introduction:
