Brief introduction of the author
Han Yi, born in Nanyang (now Nanyang, Henan), was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. He is one of the "Top Ten Talents in Dali". Tianbao 13 (754) was admitted as a scholar. Baoying once served in the shogunate, our ambassador to Ziqing, and then Hou returned to Korea and lived in Chang 'an for ten years. When Jian 'an was in middle age, he was appreciated for writing an article "Cold Food", and he was promoted constantly, and finally became an official in middle school. Han Yi's poems were light in brushwork and unique in scenery, and were widely read at that time. He is the author of Han Junping's poems.
Han Yi was very talented and famous when he was young. Han Yi worked for him when he was guarding. Later he was dismissed from office and lived at home for ten years. When Li Mian went to keep Yimen, he was enabled as the chief of staff. At that time, Han Han had reached an octogenarian, and all the people he worked with were young people. They don't know him and look down on his poems.
Han Yi was very dissatisfied and said that he was ill at home. There is only one inspector, Wei, whose position is not high. He is also a famous person and gets along well with Han Yi. One night, inspector Wei knocked at the door in a hurry. Han Yi came out to see him. He congratulated him and said, "You have been promoted to driver's doctor, so you can preside over the imperial edict (proclamation and orders issued by the emperor)." Han Yi was surprised and said, "There can't be such a thing. It must be wrong. " Qiu sat down and said that the emperor's letters and orders lacked drafters. The Chinese book province nominated twice, but the emperor didn't approve it. I also asked for instructions, and Dezong instructed: use Han Yi.
At that time, there was another person with the same name and surname as Han Han, who served as the secretariat of Jianghuai. He also reported to the emperor, and the emperor instructed: "Spring City is full of flowers, and the east wind is cold and the willows are oblique." At dusk, candles were passed in the Han Palace, and light smoke was scattered into the Hall of the Five Emperors. Let's use Han Yi who wrote this poem. Inspector Wei congratulated again and said, "Isn't this a poem written by you?" Han Yi said yes. There is nothing wrong with him not knowing. At dawn, Li Mian and his colleagues came to congratulate him. It was the early years of Tang Dezong Jianzhong.
