Why did the Tang Dynasty female poet Xue Tao never marry for life, and what was her masterpiece?
Tang Dynasty poets can be described as an era of poetry prevalence, there were Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and other great poets, of course, there were many famous female poets, and we want to talk about this Xue Tao, she is the Tang Dynasty talented woman Xue Tao, she and Liu Caichun, Li Zhi, Yu Xuan and called the four great female poets of the Tang Dynasty, as a generation of talented women, Xue Tao circulated about 90 poems.

The branches greet the birds from north to south, and the leaves send the wind. At the same time, Xue Tao is also a great beauty, a woman who coexists in talent and beauty, just like a bright star in the Tang Dynasty.
However, when Xue Tao was 14 years old, his father died of illness, leaving only her and her mother to rely on each other for their lives, but at this time Xue Tao, she can already rely on her own skills to support her family, the country color Tianxiang, proficient in poetry, good at music, with these talents in the Tang Dynasty is simply like a fish, playing and entertaining in the wind and moon place, it did not take long for her to become a famous singer and prostitute, this experience allowed Xue Tao to slowly have a relationship with many Tang Dynasty celebrities.
During the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang, Wei Gao served as the envoy of Jiannan Xichuan Festival, in a banquet, Wei Gao let Xue Tao give poetry on the spot, Xue Tao thought about it a little, so he wrote "Gurudwara Mountain Temple", which also made Wei Gao clap the case, with this poem, Xue Tao's reputation rose, and soon became a red person around Wei Gao, and even Wei Gao also hoped that the imperial court would let Xue Tao serve as a school scribe, for many literati and inkers, this is a position to yearn for, in such a society where men are superior to women, there are never women serving as school scriveners But Wei Gao created a precedent, which shows the fame and influence of Xue Tao at that time, although Wei Gao did not let Xue Tao become a girls' school book in the end, but Xue Tao's name of "girls' school book" has gone away.

However, this vigorous love did not last long, Yuan Shu had to leave Shu to return to Beijing, the two can be described as the end of the world, but there are still some written exchanges, but this lingering emotion, in the end, is still over the clouds, since Yuan Shu left, Xue Tao's thoughts about Yuan Shu are unforgettable, she always believes what Yuan Shu said, he will return to Shu to see her, but after Yuan Shu returned to Beijing, she slowly got to know Liu Caichun, although Liu Caichun's poetry is not as good as Xue Tao, but Liu Caichun is young and beautiful Perhaps at this time, Yuan Shu had already forgotten Xue Tao completely.
Never married
Xue Taokong waited for Yuan Shu for 10 years, which also directly led to Xue Tao's lifelong unmarried, she has seen through the cold and warm of human feelings, tasted enough of the bitterness of the world, and finally in Tang Wenzong Taihe five years, Xue Tao held a grudge and died, at the age of 62, Xue Tao's life did not give up the pursuit of love, but because she met someone unladylike, led to her various ideals and finally shattered, peach blossoms are no more, but the green water Qingbo still exists forever, this love story also exists in people's memories, Si people have passed away, the rest of the wish is not over, after all, regrettable.
