Who can say that a filial child like the weak can repay his mother's love like the sunshine in spring?

Meng Jiao (75 1 -8 15), a native of Dongye, Han nationality, was born in Wu Kang, Huzhou (now Deqing County, Zhejiang Province). His ancestral home is Pingchang (now Linyi County, Dezhou, Shandong Province) and his ancestral home is Ruzhou (now Ruzhou, Henan Province). He was a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty and lived in seclusion in Songshan Mountain as a teenager.
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. Even the official business was wasted, and the county magistrate changed a fake one. Later, due to the recommendation of Henan Yin Zheng Qing Yu, he worked in Henan (now Luoyang, Henan) and spent most of his later years in Luoyang.
In the ninth year of Xian Zongyuan, Zheng Yuqing once again recruited him to join the army in Xingyuan House, but took his wife to Kanxiang County (now Lingbao, Henan Province), died of sudden illness and was buried in Luoyang East. Zhang Ji called himself "Mr. Yao Zhen" in private.
Meng Jiao's official history is simple, and his life is cold. He is stubborn in Geng Jie. After his death, Zheng Yuqing bought a coffin for burial. Ancient poetry also writes about the world's indifference and the sufferings of the people. There are more than 574 existing poems in Meng Jiao, among which the most are short five-character poems, and the masterpiece is Ode to a Wanderer. Today's biography of Meng Dongye's poems is 10. Known as the "poet's prison", it is also as famous as Jia Dao, and is called "Jiao Han Dao Bo".
