Author's brief introduction
Lin Jie (831-847), a native of Fujian, was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. There are two poems, Qi Qiao and Wang Xiantan, in The Whole Tang Poetry. Lin Jie was brilliant since he was a child. At the age of six, he was able to compose poems, and when he wrote, he became a chapter, and he was good at calligraphy and chess. He was only sixteen when he died. There are two poems in The Whole Tang Poetry, among which "Begging for Qiao" is a famous poem written by Lin Jie, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, describing the grand occasion of folk Qixi.
According to legend, Lin Jie, as a child, was also interested in the wonderful legend of begging for cleverness, just like his mother or other women. Looking up at the brilliant Tianhe in the far-reaching night sky, watching the dazzling two stars on both sides of the Tianhe, expecting to see the gathering of these two stars, I wrote the poem "Begging for Cleverness".
