Ch’ang Ch’ien

Ch’ang Ch’ien (c. AD 720) was, according to Cranmer-Byng, a philosopher-poet of the Taoist school who spent his life far from the court, trying to set himself in harmony with the universe.

The poems here are L. Cranmer-Byng’s version in A Lute of Jade (1909), given with the poet’s name as spelled in those books.
