Later he was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima for accepting bribes in the election, and soon he was reinstated as Shangshu Zuocheng.

2. Cui Rong (653-706), whose courtesy name was Ancheng. A native of Quanjie, Qizhou (now Zhangqiu City, Jinan City) in the Tang Dynasty. Cui Rong's literary and artistic style was unparalleled at that time. All large-scale projects carried out by the imperial court were mostly commissioned by the emperor and completed. His "Ode to the Treasure Map of Luo Chu" and "Wen of Zetian's Aiji" are particularly outstanding in his craftsmanship. When he was writing "Ze Tian Ai Ce Wen", he thought too hard and fell ill and died. Zhongzong rewarded him with the posthumous title of "Wen" as the governor of Weizhou because of his kindness in serving as an attendant.

In the eleventh year of Tianbao's reign (752), he was demoted to Jingling Sima because he was implicated in the Wang Fei case. Interacting with Lu Hongjian, tasting tea and commenting on water, became a favorite story for a while. His deeds are scattered in "New Book of Tang·Yiwenzhi IV", "Chronicles of Tang Poems" Volume 15, and "Biography of Talented Scholars of the Tang Dynasty" Volume 2. Guofu's poems are famous for their five unique features and are deeply inspired by Yuefu folk songs of the Southern Dynasties.
