Wang Ch’ang-ling
Wang Ch’ang-ling (c. AD 750) came from the district of Chiang-ning to the capital, where he took his doctor’s degree. He was eventually disgraced and exiled to Hunan and, according to Cranmer-Byng, was murdered by a censor at the time of An Lu-shan’s rebellion.
The poems here are L. Cranmer-Byng’s versions in A Lute of Jade (1909), given with the poet’s name as spelled in those books.
