Chang Jo-hu

c. AD 800


Chang Jo-hu is dated by Cranmer-Byng to about AD 800. He is represented by a single long poem, on the moon over a great river and the lovers it parts.

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.

  1. When heaven reveals her primal stainless blue
  2. The River By Night in Spring
