Poets on this site without biographical entries elsewhere1
其他詩人
 

This began as a page to centralize information about poets who have relevant lyrics in such collections as Yuefu Shiji, Taigu Yiyin or Qinshu Daquan but who are not introduced in any of the qin biographies. There are additional entries about poets for whom I have found relevant lyrics elsewhere.

  1. 鮑溶 Bao Rong (fl. ca. 820)
    Bao Rong (ICTCL, p.53) was a late Tang "master of the lyric and lofty"
    Lyrics for
    Xiangfei Lienü Cao

  2. 鮑照 Bao Zhao (ca. 414 - 466)
    Bao Zhao is discussed in
    QSCB, 4B. ICTCL, p.649, says: "the most important yuefu poet of the Six Dynasties (another name for the Northern and Southern Dynasties) and one of the most famous masters of yuefu in the whole of Chinese literary history."

    The YFSJ index includes 37 titles under his name (in 24 of the folios: 24, 27, 28, 29, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 44, 51, 55, 57, 58, 61, 63, 64, 65, 66, 68, 70, 76, 84 and 86).

    Cen Shen (ICTCL, p.798), also called Cen Can, was a scholar official who traveled with 高仙芝 Gao Xianzhi on his military campaigns to Central Asia. Though best known for his ballads describing the rugged and harsh conditions in Central Asia, he also wrote many on more standard topics. His poem Fisherman (Sunflower Splendor, p.44) captures nicely the mood of
    Yu Ge. Those that specifically mention qin include:
    - On an Autumn Evening Listening to Mountain Recluse Luo Play Sanxia Liu Quan
    - The Qin Terrace of Fu Zijian (Preface, and three poems)

He was (Giles:) a handsome man who married a daughter of 張嘉貞 Zhang Jiazheng (later Minister of State) by picking her out from behind a screen. Zhang went to Turfan on a mission from Empress Wu, then served also as a minister of state. He has four entries in YFSJ; none are in the qin section, but two connect to qin titles.
    Chun Jiang Qu (Folio 77, p. 1081, has his original lyrics, slightly changed in the qin melody)

  19. 李嶠 Li Jiao (644-713),
    Li Jiao (ICTCL p.531) "was an influential officer and a renowned man of letters during (690-710. His) poetry is characterised by the "Court Style" which had flourished in the Six Dynasties - many of his verses were also written at court. He is also well-known for his yongwu shi 詠物詩, poems on objects, which deal with an encyclopedic spectrum of subjects, from the sun, various musical instruments, and household items to flora and fauna...." References to him on this website include ones under
    Liangxiao Yin, Gu Yuan and Yu Qiao Wenda (see the quote from Su Shi's Yu Qiao Xianhua). Three of his yongwu shi mention the qin:

    1. 詠琴 Yong Qin (Declamation on the Qin)

    2. 詠風 Yong Feng (Wind)

      落日生蘋末,搖揚遍遠林。
      帶花疑鳳舞,向竹似龍吟。

      若至蘭台下,還拂楚王襟。
    3. 詠市 Yong Feng (Towns) 闤闠開三市,旗亭起百尋。
      漸離初擊築,司馬正彈琴。 (...Sima now plays the qin.)
      細柳龍鱗映,長槐兔月陰。
      徒知觀衛玉,詎肯掛秦金。

  20. 李頎 Li Qi (8th c.)
    Li Qi (14819.1463; ICTCL p.530) has several lyrics referenced on this site, including:

    Listening to the Great Dong Play the Hujia Sound
    Xiang Consorts

    Another related poem is his Qin Song (琴歌 Qin Ge, placed online and translated by Ying Sun as Deeply Moved by Music - here slightly modified):

    主人有酒歡今夕,   Tonight our host has prepared wine for a big feast.
    請奏鳴琴廣陵客。   He requests qin melodies from the Guangling guest.
    月照城頭烏半飛,   Startled by the moon, the crows on city walls scatter.
    霜淒萬樹風入衣;   The wind through frost-coated trees is piercingly bitter.
    銅鑪華燭燭增輝,   As the brass stove and candles warm up the crew,
    初彈淥水後楚妃。   First Lu Shui is played, then Princess Chu.
    一聲已動物皆靜,   The room turns quiet when he begins to play.
    四座無言星欲稀。   Not a word from the crowd until the stars fade away.
    清淮奉使千餘里,   The new order sends me a thousand miles to Qinghuai.
    敢告雲山從此始。   Suddenly I long for retirement to mountains in cloudy sky.

  21. 李冶 Li Ye (d.784 CE)
    Li Ye was a highly regarded courtesan-poet (some say Daoist nun) also called 李季蘭 Li Jilan (Bio/988). See
    Idema and Grant (pp. 176 - 182), and Chang and Saussy (pp. 56 - 59). In the latter, Stephen Owen writes that she "seems to have been well-known among the poetic groups of the Lower Yangzi region in the 760s and 770s (a poem by the poet-monk Jiaoran suggests that she made romantic as well as literary advances)....Of her eighteen extant poems, two are clearly spurious; however, twelve of the remaining sixteen were preserved in Tang anthologies, which is a good indication of her popularity." Idema and Grant translate nine of her poems, Owen translates four. Both books translate two poems that mention qin:
    - A Song on Listening to a Playing of Sanxia Liuquan (the original is in both YFSJ [Folio 60, #6] and Qinshu Daquan [Folio 19B]).
    - Reproach from Mutual Love (the lyrics are later echoed in Xiangfei Yuan, see footnote there)

  22. 梁,簡文帝 Liang Emperor Jianwen (503 - 551; r. 550 - 551)
    Details under his birth name, 蕭綱 Xiao Gang

  23. 柳辯 Liu Bian (Sui dynasty)
    "Bian" is actually written 柳, but 36236 says this is a form of 辯 created during the 北齊 Northern Qi period (just before Sui). 15002.161 says Liu Bian was a grandson of 柳惔 Liu Yan, and that his style name was 顧言 Guyan. YFSJ calls him 柳顧言 Liu Guyan
    Lyrics for
    Yang Chun Qu

  24. 劉基 Liu Ji (1311 - 1375)
    Liu Ji (ICTCL, pp. 574-6), style name 伯溫 Bowen, nickname 郁離子 Youlizi, "born into a family noted for military...and scholarly achievements", was himself a noted essayist and poet. His essays include one describing a qin that is "unheeded until he ornaments it and buries it so that it is thought to be an 'ancient' piece". He worked for the Yuan dynasty, but also criticized them, eventually becoming "one of the influential scholar-officials who helped Taizu (Zhu Yuanzhang 1328 - 1399, founder of the Ming dynasty) conquer (i.e. establish) the Ming empire" (Lam,
    State Sacrifices, pp.6-7). Lam quotes a description by Liu Ji of a state sacrifice.
    See Kechuang Yehua, Daming Yitong and Chun Yu, but all the connections are tenuous.
    Not to be confused with 劉籍 Liu Ji

  25. 劉兼 Liu Jian (8th c.)
    Although
    one webpage has over 70 poems attributed to him, with five of them mentioning qin, I can find no direct biographical entries. Apparently he was from Chang An, earned his 進士 jinshi during 天寶 742-56, and 宮榮刺史 became Censor at Rongzhou. In a footnote to Peaceful Evening Prelude (Liangxiao Yin) his Crabapple Flower Poem (海棠花詩 Haitang Hua Shi) is quoted for its mention of a peaceful evening.

    The seven poems mentioning qin are:

    1. 春宵
      春雲春日共朦朧,滿院梨花半夜風。宿酒未醒珠箔卷,艷歌初闋玉樓空。
      五湖范蠡才堪重,六印蘇秦道不同。再取素聊假寐,南柯靈夢莫相通。

    2. 春晚閒望
      東風滿地是梨花,只把心殢酒家。立處晚樓橫短笛,望中春草接平沙。
      雁行斷續晴天遠,燕翼參差翠幕斜。歸計未成頭欲白,釣舟煙浪思無涯。

    3. 登樓寓望
      憑高多是偶汍瀾,紅葉何堪照病顏。萬疊雲山供遠恨,一軒風物送秋寒。
      鶴客歸松徑,橫笛牛童臥蓼灘。獨倚郡樓無限意,夕陽西去水東還。

    4. 命妓不至
      中難挑孰憐才,獨對良宵酒數杯。蘇子黑貂將已盡,宋弘青鳥又空回。
      月穿淨牖霜成隙,風捲殘花錦作堆。欹枕夢魂何處去,醉和春色入天台。

    5. 寄高書記
      齊朝慶裔祖敖曹,麟角無雙鳳九毛。聲價五侯爭辟命,文章一代振風騷。
      自寄陶家意,夢枕誰聽益郡刀。補袞應星曾奏舉,北山南海孰為高。

    6. 訪飲妓不遇,招酒徒不至
      小橋流水接平沙,何處行雲不在家。畢卓未來輕竹葉,劉晨重到殢桃花。
      樽冷落春將盡,幃幌蕭條日又斜。回首卻尋芳草路,金鞍拂柳思無涯。

    7. 登郡樓書懷
      煙雨樓台漸晦冥,錦江澄碧浪花平。卞和未雪荊山恥,莊舄空傷越國情。
      天際寂寥無雁下,雲端依約有僧行。登高欲繼離騷詠,魂斷愁深寫不成。
      邊郡荒涼悲且歌,故園迢遞隔煙波。聲背俗終如是,劍氣沖星又若何。
      朝客漸通書信少,釣舟頻引夢魂多。北山更有移文者,白首無塵歸去麼。
      莫嗔阮氏哭途窮,萬代深沉恨亦同。瑞玉豈知將抵鵲,鉛刀何事卻屠龍。
      九夷欲適嗟吾道,五柳終歸效古風。獨倚郡樓無限意,滿江煙雨正冥濛。

  26. 劉孝威 Liu Xiaowei (496 - 549)
    Liu Xiaowei (Bio/677), from 彭城 Pengcheng, during 梁 Liang
    See
    Si Gui Yin

  27. 劉禹錫 Liu Yuxi (772 - 842)
    Liu Yuxi (2270.583; ICTCL) , style name 夢得 Mengde, was from 徐州 Xuzhou (now in Jiangsu). After attaining his jinshi degree he became Censor in Chang'an, but because of "his participation in the Legalist-reform faction led by Wang Shuwen which sought to restrain the power of the eunuchs, local army commanders, and aristocratic families," he was sent into exile for 10 years in Hunan, then later again in Guangdong. He was important as an essayist as well as a poet. His poetry is said to have been influenced by his life amon non-Han minorities. YFSJ has his lyrics for the qin songs
    Fei Yuan Cao and Qiu Feng Yin, but no melodies survive. On the other hand, there are various qin settings for his poem Loushi Ming. The biography of Cui Caochang quotes one of his poems. And his poem Listening to a Qin is translated in HJAS 57, Ronald Egan, Music, Sadness and the Qin, p. 47.

  28. 劉長卿 Liu Zhangqing (c.710-after 787)
    Liu Zhangqing (also: Liu Changqing; style name 文房 Wenfang, nickname 隨州 Suizhou). ICTCL, p.572: "the most representative poet of the period immediately following that of the major High Tang figures.... Over 500 of Liu's poems are extant."
    Lyrics for
    Xiang Fei
    - other poems: QSDQ, Folio 19B, #65, Folio 20A, #12, and Folio 20B, #9
    - another one, called "彈琴 Playing the qin", is as follows (mostly following a translation by Ying Sun).

    泠泠七弦上,   The melody flows out from a seven-string qin,
    靜廳松風寒。   Quietly hearing "Wind in the Pines" brings a chill.
    古調雖自愛,   Although such old tunes are what I most adore,
    今人多不彈。   Today people seldom play them any more.

    Regarding line 2, Xu Hong mentions it as part of another poem by Liu. Although the most famous related qin melody is Wind through the Pines, at least one old list includes one called Quietly hearing the wind in the pines.

  29. 盧照鄰 Lu Zhaolin ()
    Lu Zhaolin ()
    Lyrics for

  30. 邵雍 Shao Yong (1011 - 1077)
    Bio/1398; "one of the five masters of the Neo-Confucian Learning of the Way" (DeBary,
    Sources, Vol. 1, p. 678).
    Poems about qin are in QSDQ, Folio 19A, #22 and Folio 19B, #8
    He is also connected to Yu Qiao Wenda

  31. 沈佺期 Shen Quanqi (c.650-713)
    Nienhauser, Companion, p.677, pairs him with 宋之問
    Song Zhiwen (d. 712), who wrote a poem about Wangzi Qiao (see Yao Tian Sheng He).
    Lyrics for Pili Yin

  32. 沈約 Shen Yue (441 - 513)
    Shen Yue, style name 休文 Xiuwen, "is probably best known as the originator of the first deliberately applied rules of tonal euphony in the history of Chinese prosody, though many have disputed this self-made claim." (ICTCL, p.680). YFSJ has over 50 entries under his name, but only two are in the qin section,
    Xiang Fei and Zhen Nü Yin. See also Yang Chun Qu, a Qiu Hong poem, Yu Yan, Xiao Yan and qin schools.

  33. 石崇 Shi Chong (249 - 300)
    Shi Chong (24574.619) of 晉 Jin was (ICTCL, p.962) part of a narrative tradition "telling stories of the ancient days in a language which is fairly ornate but lacks originality." He was a wealthy man with a villa in 金谷 Jin Gu (41049.281, a valley on the northwest side of Loyang). Prominent people would gather here for elegant feasts involving music, art and poetry. In 300 a certain Sun Xiu accused Shi Chong of political intrigue and he was executed. Supposedly Sun Xiu had demanded Shi Chong's wife but Shi Chong refused; after his death the wife committed suicide there. As a result Jin Gu was used as an allusion to tenuous nature of wealth. See David Knechtges (trans.)
    Wen Xuan, III, p.202. Also ICTCL p. 962.
    Gu Yuan has an allusion to the story above.

    Wu Jun of 梁 Liang (Bio/1031), style name 叔庠 Shuxiang, was a well-known writer and poet from Zhejiang. He held official positions under the Qi and Liang dynasties, based in Nanjing. 玉臺新詠 (see Birrell,
    Jade Terrace), has 26 of his poems. Birrell's biographical note on Wu Jun says, "He did some editorial work on the Annals of the Qi Dynasty, but was dismissed for inaccuracies." Annals of Qi is 齊春秋 Qi Chunqiu. His Continuation of All Writings of the Qi dynasty (28646.85 續齊諧記 Xu Qi Jieji) is quoted in two references below.

    Women Writers, p. 131, introduces her. Pages 136-7 translate her poem 廳琴 Listening to the Qin. In it the narrator is entranced by listening to a song three times. This may suggest an aesthetic concerning short melodies or songs.
