曹冠

Cáo Guān · Cao Guan

Cao Guan, courtesy name Zongchen and literary name Shuangxi, was a Southern Song ci poet from Dongyang. He passed the jinshi examination in the Shaoxing period and again in the Qiandao period, and his official career was complicated. His lyrics often focus on landscape excursions, banquets, drinking, and reclusive pleasures. His style is clear, elegant, and graceful, especially in depicting the fresh beauty of Jiangnan scenery and the leisurely life of the literati. 'Feng Qi Wu · Lanxi' is a representative example of his landscape leisure lyrics, combining boating, poetry, wine, spring scenery, and the impulse to seek out a hidden dwelling.
