About the author:
Meng Haoran (689 -740), whose real name is Haoran, was born in Xiangyang, Xiangzhou (now Xiangyang, Hubei). He was a famous pastoral poet in Tang Dynasty, and was praised as "Meng Xiangyang" by the world. Because he has never been an official, he is also called Monsanto.
Meng's poems are mostly five-character short stories, mostly pastoral poems and secluded poems, and most of them are in the mood of serving immortals. Although it is not without cynicism, it is more of a poet's self-expression. Meng Haoran's poems have unique artistic attainments. Later generations called Meng Haoran and Wang Wei, another landscape poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, "Wang Meng". Meng Haoran's collected works handed down from generation to generation have three volumes.
