王昌龄

Wang Changling is a renowned poet in ancient China. Reliable public sources differ on his birthplace and the exact years of his birth and death, and the available information is limited, so these details cannot be described in full. The library currently holds nine of his works, including "Going beyond the Frontier," "Army Life," "Ancient Sentiments," "Seeing Off My Fifteenth Maternal Uncle," as well as The Complete Works of Wang Changling, The Collected Works of Wang Changling, The Rules of Poetry, and "Enjoying the Moon by the Eastern Stream." These works show that he excelled in frontier poetry and farewell verse, often dealing with garrison warfare, parting feelings, and personal reflections. His language is concise, his imagery broad, and his emotion sincere, giving his poetry a distinctive place in the classical tradition. "Going beyond the Frontier" and "Army Life" have long been regarded as important representatives of frontier poetry and have had a lasting influence, while The Rules of Poetry reflects his thinking on poetic creation. Because sources are limited, his biographical details are not elaborated here; readers may come to know his artistic style through his works.
