Biography
Zhang Hu was born in 792,[1][a] in Qinghe (modern Qinghe County, Hebei or Shandong)[2] or possibly Nanyang (modern Nanyang, Henan).[3] His courtesy name was Chengji.[2]
He flourished between 820 and 845.[4] Living early on in Gusu, in the Changqing era (821–824) he was summoned to the capital Chang'an on the recommendation of Linghu Chu.[3]
However, he failed to find employment at court due to the opposition of Yuan Zhen, and moved to Huainan where he spent his days visiting famous temples and places of scenic beauty and devoting himself to poetic composition.[3]
Later, he retired to Danyang (modern Danyang, Jiangsu, where spent the rest of his days as a private citizen.[3]
He probably died in 852 or 853.[2][b]
Poetry
He primarily wrote quatrains (jueju) on historical topics.[4] There is an anthology of his poetry called the Zhang Chushi Shiji (simplified Chinese: 张処士诗集; traditional Chinese: 張處士詩集; pinyin: Zhāng Chǔshì Shījí; Wade–Giles: Chang2 Ch'u3shih4 Shih2chi1; lit. 'Collection of Poems by Retired Scholar Zhang').[3]
He wrote a dozen poems on the reign of Xuanzong.[4]
