Ch’ien Wēn-ti of Liang

The Emperor Ch’ien Wēn-ti of the Liang dynasty lived in the sixth century. Waley gives two short poems of his, one on the town of Lo-yang in spring and one on a lady waiting for her lover at a ferry.

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