Han Wo (844 – 923) was a Chinese poet of the late Tang dynasty. His courtesy name was Zhiyao, or possibly Zhiguang or Zhiyuan, and his art name was Yushan-Qiaoren. He was a native of Jingzhao, in or near the capital Chang'an. An anthology of his poems, the Xianglian Ji survives.
Biography
Sources
Chapter 183 of the New Book of Tang gives a short biography of Han Wo.[1]
Birth and early life
He was born in either 842 or 844.[a] He was a native of Wannian, Jingzhao (modern-day Xi'an, Shaanxi Province).[2] His father, Han Zhan (traditional Chinese: 韓瞻; simplified Chinese: 韩瞻; pinyin: Hán Zhān; Wade–Giles: Han2 Chan1) took the imperial examination in the same year as Li Shangyin, who was also connected to the family through marriage.[3] The young Wo supposedly was recognized for his poetic genius by Li, who praised him.[3]
Political career
In 889 (Longji 1) he passed the imperial examination, receiving his Jinshi degree.[4] He became a scholar at the Hanlin Academy[4] and a low-ranking official at the Central Secretariat,[5] eventually becoming Vice-Minister of Defense (兵部侍郎).[6] He earned the trust of Emperor Zhaozong,[3] working with him against the eunuchs,[7] and was recommended for the position of chancellor, but he was disliked by Zhu Quanzhong (later to become Emperor Daizu of Liao) and was exiled to Pu Prefecture (modern Fan County, Henan).[5]
Death
Following his exile, Han would not returned to government, and spent his last years in Min (Fujian).[3] He died around 923,[b] having never returned to the capital.[7]
Names
His courtesy name was either Zhiyao[2] or Zhiguang.[5] Another theory (not widely accepted) is that his courtesy name was Zhiyuan, following the Tiao xi yu yin cong hua.[8] The New Book of Tang, as well as a work by Han's contemporary Wu Rong (呉融), refer to him as Zhiguang, but the Liexian Zhuan associates the character used in his given name Wo with the second character of Zhiyao, lending support to the idea that Zhiguang would have fit his given name better.[9]
His art name was Yushan-Qiaoren.[3]
Poetry
In literary history, Han is generally considered a poet of the so-called late Tang period, which spanned the early-ninth century to 907.[10]
An anthology of his poems, the Xianglian Ji (traditional Chinese: 香奩集; simplified Chinese: 香奁集; pinyin: xiānglián jí; Wade–Giles: hsiang1-lien2 chih2), survives.[11] His poetry is noted for its sensual beauty, with the Xianglian Ji having given its name to xianglian-ti (traditional Chinese: 香奩體; simplified Chinese: 香奁体; pinyin: xiānglián tǐ; Wade–Giles: hsiang1-lien2 t'ih3), a style of poetry associated with him.[7] His poems of other types are collected in the Yushan-Qiaoren Ji (Chinese: 玉山樵人集; pinyin: yùshān-qiáorén jí; Wade–Giles: yü4shan1-ch'iao2jên2 chih2).[7]
Reception
His poetry influenced the work of the fourteenth-century poet Yang Weizhen.[12]
