孟浩然
唐
Meng Haoran was a major Tang dynasty landscape and pastoral poet from Xiangyang in Xiangzhou, often known as Meng Xiangyang. He did not achieve high office and spent much of his life in reclusion, travel, and literary friendship. Together with Wang Wei, he is known as one of the central figures of the High Tang landscape and pastoral tradition. His poetry is clear, natural, and understated, often focusing on mountains, rivers, rural life, travel, reclusion, and everyday feeling. 'Spring Dawn' is his most famous short poem, admired for turning an ordinary moment of waking into a lasting image of spring.
