Cui Hao said:
Cui Hao was born in Bianzhou (now Kaifeng, Henan Province), originally from Anping, Boling (now Anping County, Hengshui City, Hebei Province), and was a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. Born in Cui Shi, Boling was a top gentry in Tang Dynasty. He used to be the deputy general of Fugou County, Xuzhou, and his official position has not been obvious. After traveling around the world, Tianbao was appointed as the censor around nine years ago, and he was a member of the foreign minister from official to Si Xun. In the 13th year of Tianbao (754), he died.
Personal life:
His poems are very famous, but his deeds are rarely circulated, and only forty poems exist. Cui Hao was an official of Taibu Temple, and Tianbao was a foreign minister of Sixun. Legend has it that Li Bai traveled around the world in his prime, leaving poems everywhere. When he boarded the Yellow Crane Tower, he was fascinated by the beautiful scenery upstairs and downstairs. When he was trying to write a poem as a souvenir, he suddenly looked up and saw the Yellow Crane Tower in Cui Hao.
When he found Cui's poems in the building, he repeatedly shouted "wonderful, wonderful!" " According to legend, Li Bai wrote four "doggerel poems" to express his feelings: "Hit the Yellow Crane Tower with one punch, and kick over Parrot Island with one foot. There is a scene in front of him in which Cui Hao wrote a poem. " I stopped writing.
Anecdotes of characters:
1, boudoir poems are not all flashy.
Cui Hao's early poems mostly described boudoir feelings and reflected women's life. Later, I went to the frontier fortress, and the frontier fortress poems I wrote were generous and heroic, and my poetic style became bold and unrestrained. But Cui Hao's most famous poem is the Yellow Crane Tower. According to legend, this poem touched the great poet Li Bai. The Biography of Tang Caizi, a new study in the Yuan Dynasty, also recorded that Li Bai boarded the Yellow Crane Tower because he saw Cui Hao's poem, that is, "Doing nothing, gathering hands for philosophers."
He never retired to Bianzhou.
Cui Hao lived in Kaifeng, Henan Province when he was a teenager. There are many theories about the time when he left his hometown in Henan to engage in scientific research in Chang 'an. Chen Sunzhen in Song Dynasty wrote in Volume 19 of "The Problem of Jiezhizhai in Shu Lu" that "Tang Sixun, Foreign Minister, was a scholar in the 10th year of Kaiyuan". Yuan Xinwen's Biography of Talented Scholars in Tang Dynasty said that he was a scholar in the 11th year of Kaiyuan.
Cui Hao's Ten-year Poetry of Zheng De notes that Yao Chongsheng was a scholar in the 12th year of Kaiyuan. No matter which statement is correct, Cui Hao was only 20 years old when he was admitted to Jinshi. But because he was eager for fame, he returned to Chang 'an, died in the 13th year of Tang Tianbao (754), and never returned to his hometown.
