Biography[]

Chu Guangxi was born in around 706 or 707,[a] and was originally from Yan Province (modern-day Shandong Province).[1]

In the last year of the Tianbao era he was appointed investigating censor (simplified Chinese: 监察御史; traditional Chinese: 監察御史).[1] He was implicated in the An Lushan Rebellion and exiled to Lingnan.[2]

He died in around 760.[b]

Poetry[]

His surviving poems, such as "Mutong Ci" (牧童詞 mù tóng cí) and "Diaoyu Wan" (釣魚灣 diào yú wān), are simple, elegant and pastoral.[3]
