Bai Juyi, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, was born in Xinzheng (now Xinzheng, Henan) on February 28, 772 (the 20th day of the first month of the seventh year of the Tang Dynasty).

Bai Juyi, also known as Letian, was one of the three great poets of the Tang Dynasty. He wrote nearly 3500 poems in his lifetime. Bai Juyi's poems have been widely circulated. His good friend Yuan Zhen once said: "There are no books on the walls of forbidden provinces, temples, and postal marquises, and there are no books in the mouths of princes, concubines, cattle boys, and grooms. As for the script of Molle (rigid) FDB4, which is sold in the market, or holds it to serve wine and tea." His famous poems have spread far abroad. Emperor Saga of Japan once copied and recited them in large quantities; Jia people in Kilin (Silla State) spent a lot of money to search for white poems. Since the beginning of poetry, his works have been cherished by foreigners, and Bai Juyi is the first person.

Why is Bai Shi so favored by people at home and abroad? Judging from Bai Juyi's life, it can be said that it was the result of genius and hard work. He himself said: "I (I) was born in the sixth or seventh months. The wet nurse pointed out the word 'zhi' and 'wu' to show my servant. I couldn't speak with my mouth, but my heart had already understood it in silence." Later, my fingers were the same. "I can write poetry at the age of five or six, and I can read rhymes at the age of nine. I studied hard during my childhood, but I was still in my twenties. I studied during the day, read at night, and occasionally I had classes... so that my tongue and tongue became sores and my elbows became calloused." These achievements are "covered by hard study and hard work."

In 805 (the 21st year of Zhenyuan of the Tang Dynasty), Bai Juyi became a captain of Zhouzhi County, helping the county magistrate maintain public order and urge taxes and corvee. He saw with his own eyes the miserable situation of farmers and was very sympathetic to them. At that time, he wrote "Watching Mowing Wheat". He also thought of the great pain that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was obsessed with women and abandoned national politics to recruit the "Anshi Rebellion", which brought great pain to the people. He immediately wrote a thousand-word narrative poem "Song of Eternal Regret" to expose Emperor Xuanzong's profligacy and harm the country. He also praised Yang Guifei's loyal love and became a treasure in the ancient literary heritage.

In 808 (the third year of Tang Yuanhe), Bai Juyi was recalled to Chang 'an and worshiped the left to collect relics. Shi Yi was a remonstrant with a low official position, but he had the opportunity to speak to the court. He "rules must be made when there is a breach, and remonstrate when there is a violation. The court has no doubts about its gains and losses, and there is no benefit or illness in the world." "Bai Juyi not only dared to speak up, but also used poetry to depict the sufferings of the people and satirize the wealthy and aristocratic families, hoping that the court could eliminate corruption and violence, and be lenient and loving the people. As a result, he wrote fifty famous allegory poems "New Yuefu" and ten poems "Yin in Qin Zhong". These allegory poems are not only substantial in content, but also have simple language and are easy to understand by the general public.

Later, Bai Juyi was ostracized and demoted to Sima for his outspoken advice; he served as governor in Zhongzhou, Hangzhou, and Suzhou. During his banishment to Jiangzhou, he was full of depression and wrote another long poem,"Sepa Xing". This poem describes a wandering and haggard prostitute in Chang 'an, and confesses his own experience of being ostracized and demoted to an official, making it a moving masterpiece through the ages. During his tenure in Hangzhou, Bai Juyi recruited migrant workers and built the Baisha embankment of the West Lake, irrigating more than 1000 acres of land along the embankment. Later generations called it Baigong Causeway to commemorate his merits.

Bai Juyi later served as a minister of the Ministry of Punishment and lived in Luoyang in his later years. He died in 846 (the sixth year of Huichang of the Tang Dynasty). People buried him in Xiangshan Temple in Luoyang.
