Lu Yün

4th century AD


Lu Yün lived in the fourth century AD. Waley gives one short poem of his, “The Valley Wind,” in which a recluse stuffs his window with ferns and lets his cottage become a universe.

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.
