[Tang] [706–763]

Chu Guangxi (c. 706–763), a native of Yanzhou, Shandong. Poet of the Tang Dynasty. His poems are known for describing pastoral landscapes. He is one of the representative poets of the Pastoral Landscape Poetry School.

　　Chu Guangxi was raised to the ranks in the fourteenth year of the new century (726), along with Cui Guofu and Qi Wuqian. He was awarded the title of Lieutenant of Feng Yi County, and was transferred to the county lieutenants of Shuishui, Anxuan, and Xiayi. Frustrated by his career, he lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain. Later, he was reinstated as Taizhu (太祝), known as Chu Taizhu (太子太祝), and was an official to supervise the imperial history. During the Anshi Rebellion, the rebels captured Chang'an, and he was captured and forced to take up a false post. Chaoping, who returned to the imperial court to plead guilty, was imprisoned, and has the poem "In Prison Yi Yao Zhang Xue Li Zheng Liu Zhu Gong". After demeaning Lingnan.

　　In the sheng Tang Dynasty, the poetry world competed for shows, Li and Du Erwai, Gao Shi and Cen Shan's Bian Sai poems, Wang Wei and Meng Haoran's pastoral landscape poems, and also linked Jing Shuang, each leading-. Chu Guangxi's poems are famous for describing pastoral landscapes, and the poetic style is similar to that of Wang and Meng. "Fishing Bay", "Tian Jia Is The Thing", "Tong Wang Thirteen Dimensional Accidental Works", "Tian Jia Miscellaneous" and so on describe rural life and pastoral scenery, the style is simple, the atmosphere is thick, although it shows the leisure interest of the scholar, it is also somewhat exposed to some rural life realities, with a stronger breath of life. For example, "Fishing Bay":

　　Fishing in Green Bay spring, deep spring apricot blossom chaos. The pond is clear and the water is shallow, and the lotus is moving and the fish are scattered. Sunset waiting for lovers, WeiZhou green poplar shore. Some of these poems believe that "originated from Tao Qian, in the simplicity, with a quaint taste, located between Wang Wei and Meng Haoran, and without shame" ("General Catalogue of the Four Libraries"). Shen Deqian, a Qing dynasty, said: "Tao Shi's chest is magnificent, and there is a deep and simple mao that cannot be everywhere. - Zu Shu, Wang Youcheng has its purity, The Monsanto people have its idleness, Chu Taizhu has its simplicity, Wei Zuosi has its Chonghe, Liu Yicao has its purity, and all learn to get close to its nature" (Speaking Poetry).

　　Although Chu Guangxi is known for writing pastoral landscape poems, his poetic achievements are far more than this. He strived to emulate Wei and Jin in his creations, and abandoned the beautiful style of the Six Dynasties, with more forms than five ancient characters and rich and diverse contents. For example, at the end of Tianbao, Fan Yang, passing through Handan, saw That An Lushan was in a hurry, and the people's lives were miserable, and wrote two poems of "Effectuing the Ancients" to record their affairs. Shi Yun: "The army is in the north of The Yan, and the Son of Heaven is in the west." Women serve in the prefecture and county, Ding Zhuangshi requisitioned. The old and the young are separated from each other, and they cry without fainting. The crops were destroyed, and Kawazawa withered. ”“...... Hanlin has a guest secretary, and he is alone and worried. In the middle of the night, he hesitated, thinking of giving a plan. The gate is steep and deep, and the foot is empty. "Shows deep concern about the situation and resentment that there is no way to serve the country." As for the writing of scenery works, such as "Shuhua Qing Palace", "You Mao Mountain", "Title Lu Shan Ren Lou", etc., or the weather is majestic, or the qing is poignant, and the style is different. Writing about the misery of the journey, such as "Cold Night Jiangkou Berthing Boat"; writing about parting people, such as "Jingkou Farewell May Fourth Friendship", are sincere and touching. Yin Bian commented on Chu's poems, saying that he was "high-profile and elegant, far-reaching and affectionate, cutting all the common words, carrying the traces of "Wind" and "Ya", and the Haoran Qi", and comparing him with Wang Changling, believing that "the two sages are in the same body" and can inherit the "wind bones" of Cao (Zhi), Liu (Zhen), Pan (Yue), and Lu (Ji).

　　Chu Guangxi lost his temper in his later years, and the Old Book of Tang and the New Book of Tang were not passed down. His deeds are scattered in Gu Quan's "Supervision of the Imperial History of the Imperial History", "Chronicle of Tang Poetry", and "Biography of Tang Caizi". The New Book of Tang Dynasty Yiwen zhi has a collection of 70 volumes, which have been scattered. He is the author of 15 volumes of the Treatise on the Right And 20 volumes of the Nine Classics of External Discussion. Today, there are 5 volumes of the ChuGuang Xi Collection, and 4 volumes of quan Tang poems.
