賈島 松下問童子 言師採藥去 隻在此山中 雲深不知處 Seeking the Master but not Meeting by '''Jia Dao''' Beneath a pine I asked a little child. / He said the Master went to gather herbs. / Alone was he upon this mountainside, / The clouds so deep he knew not where he was.]] Jia Dao (賈島, 779 - 843 ) was a Chinese Poet born in Hebei . After a period as a Buddhist Monk , he went to Chang'an . He became one of Han Yu 's disciples, but failed the '' Jinshi '' exam several times. He wrote both discursive '' Gushi '' and Lyric '' Jintishi ''. His works were criticised as "thin" by Su Shi , and some other commentators have considered them limited and artificial. |
