Taiwanese prose writer Zhang Xiaofeng has repeatedly stressed that his famous work "Immortal Insomnia" has been selected into the third language textbook. It is said that "Fengqiao Night Berth" was written after Zhang Ji fell off the list. I remember an article in the 1987 magazine Reader's Digest that said poets wrote after they fell off the list.
Volume III of the Biography of Tang Caizi records that Zhang Ji was "in the twelfth year of Tianbao (753 AD) and the rebbe attendant Yang Junxia and di", which indicates that he was admitted to the Jinshi. But the unfortunate thing is to encounter the Chaos of An Shi, the poet had to flee to the south, Zhang Ji went all the way to the south to suzhou Hanshan Temple, the mood was very depressed and very heavy, slept in a small boat on the Suzhou River at night, could not sleep at night, the sky was almost bright and did not fall asleep. Look at the bright moon in the sky, and then look at your own downfall, full of sadness! Zhang Ji was deeply touched and felt inspired, and only then did he write the famous "Fengqiao Night Berth".
The moon is falling and the sky is full of frost,
Jiang Feng fishing fire to sleep.
Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City,
Midnight bell to the passenger ship.
