Po Chu-i (772-846 C.E.) occupied several important government posts, rising to the presidency of the imperial board of wa. He wrote over 3,000 poems—brief, topical verses expressed in very simple, clear language. His poetry figures prominently in The Tale of Genji, the tenth century Japanese novel by Murasaki Shikibu. Po’s work gained wide popularity throughout East Asia. He continued to write despite partial paralysis and enjoyed great fame during his lifetime.

“I planted bamboos,

more than a

hundred shoots.

When I see their

beauty, as they grow

by the stream-side,

I feel again as though

I lived in the hills,

And many a time on

public holidays

Round their railing I

walk till night comes”
Po Chu-i, The Jade Flute: Chinese Poems in Prose
