Chi K’ang

AD 223–262


Chi K’ang (AD 223–262) is represented by one short Taoist song in Waley’s 1918 anthology, a poem of casting out wisdom and learning and letting the thoughts wander in the Great Void.

The poems here are Arthur Waley’s version in A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems (1918), given with the poet’s name as spelled in those books.
