Meng Jiao (Meng Chiao) 751-814 A.D. One of the Tang-dynasty writers who advocated the emulation of the ancients, Meng was associated with Han Yu. He came from modern Zhejiang, passed the jinshi examination at the third attempt in 796 and in 800 took up a minor official post. By 805 he had resigned and spent the rest of his life in Loyang. His poetry is often angry and discordant, not polished and gracious like that of his contemporaries, and his poem sequences in particular can be disturbing. Later critics disliked his work intensely and he is not amongst the most popular of poets in recent centuries.

Crossing the Yellow River: Three Hundred Poems from the Chinese , translated and introduced by Sam Hamill. All titles at bn.com by Sam Hamill Feature on Hamill's translations. Meng Chiao Despair Despise poetry, and you’ll be named to office. But to love poetry is like clinging to a mountain: frozen, holding tight, facing death, days of sorrow followed by sorrow. The bourgeoisie are jealous of those who love poetry: they flash teeth like knives. All the old sages are long since dead, but bureaucrats still gnaw their bones. Now I’m frail, dying like a frond. All my life I sought a noble calm, a calm I could never achieve. And the noisy rabble mocked me.

About Us Search Slate Advanced Search poem A weekly poem, read by the author. Reading the Poetry of Meng Chao By Robert Pinsky Posted Tuesday, April 6, 2004, at 4:48 AM PT April has been Poetry Month for a few years now. Some people like the fact. Others do not: Should the art be reduced to a month, they say, like Cheese Products or Stress Awareness? Every month is poetry month, or not, goes the argument, and poetry is not a dessert topping or a line of athletic shoes. On the other hand, why not celebrate poetry more than usual, at some time of year or the other? And doesn't the art survive a little vulgarity perfectly well? Slate will try to have it both ways this month by presenting each week a poem that is about poetry from a viewpoint that is in one way or another negative: more sour than sweet. Another goal will be to avoid the best-known poems about poetry: no chestnuts allowed. Here to begin the month is Burton Watson's elegant translation of the 11 th -century Chinese poet Su Tung-p'o. Su Tung-p'o has been reading some poetry that is not very good. His crisp poem about mediocre poetry reminds us that a lot of poetry is stupid and tedious and that the art survives that, too.

Translators of Chinese poetry tend to be of various kinds. On the one hand we have important poets such as Ezra Pound, Gary Snyder and Kenneth Rexroth, men who though perhaps not expert in Chinese were certainly conversant with it in various degrees and who have given us some truly striking and memorable translations. There are also brilliant scholar-translators such as Arthur Waley, Burton Watson, and the author of the present book, A. C. Graham, men both expert in Chinese and artists in words whose versions can be equally impressive.

8. The Late Poems Of Meng Chiao David Hinton s translation of The Late Poems of meng chiao, classical Chinesepoetry by the experimental T ang Dynasty poet. The Late Poems of meng chiao, http://www.davidhinton.org/Pages/Meng Chiao.html

DAVID HINTON Chinese Poetry Home Chinese Poetry Chinese Philosophy Poetry The Late Poems of Meng Chiao Late in life, Meng Chiao (751-814 C.E.) developed an experimental poetry of virtuosic beauty, a poetry that anticipated landmark developments in the modern Western tradition by a millennium. With the T'ang Dynasty crumbling, Meng's later work employed surrealist and symbolist techniques as it turned to a deep introspection. This is truly major work, work that may be the most radical in the Chinese tradition. And though written more than a thousand years ago, it is remarkably fresh and contemporary. But in spite of Meng's significance, this is the first volume of his poetry to appear in English. Until the age of forty, Meng Chiao lived as a poet-recluse associated with Ch'an (Zen) Buddhist poet-monks in south China. He then embarked on a rather unsuccessful career as a government official. Throughout this time, his poetry was decidedly mediocre: conventional verse inevitably undone by his penchant for the strange and surprising. After his retirement, Meng developed the innovative poetry translated in this book. His late work is singular not only for its bleak introspection and ":avant-garde" methods, but also for its dimensions: in a traditioin typified by the short lyric poem, this work is made up entirely of large poetic sequences.

Meng Chiao The Late Poems of Meng Chiao Laments of the Gorges Triple Gorge one thread of heaven over ten thousand cascading thongs of water, slivers of sun and moon sheering away above, and wild swells walled-in below, splintered spirits glisten, a few glints frozen how many hundred years in dark gorges midday light never finds, gorges hungry froth fills with peril. Rotting coffins locked into tree roots, isolate bones twist and sway, dangling free, and grieving frost roosts in branches, keeping lament's dark, distant harmony fresh. Exile, tattered heart all scattered away, you'll simmer in seething flame here, your life like fine-spun thread, its road a trace of string traveled away. Offer tears to mourn the water-ghosts, and water-ghosts take them, glimmering. Water swords and spears raging in gorges, boats drift across heaving thunder. Here in the hands of these serpents and snakes

Meng Jiao (Meng Chiao) Meng Jiao His 'Wanderer's Song' uses the 'inch of grass' image later referred to by Li Shang-yin , which Roger Waters used in modified form in 'Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun'. In Chinese literature, the 'Wanderer's Song' is a well-known and popular poem that nicely expresses the obligation to return parental love, a conventional virtue in Chinese morality. The poem is relatively simple and easy to understand even for speakers of modern Chinese. Graham's translation runs: WANDERER'S SONG The thread in the hand of a kind mother Is the coat on the wanderer's back.

Li Po (701-762) is China’s most famous poet, one whose biography is thoroughly infused with the stuff of legend, much of which may have been generated by the poet himself. Imprisoned as a traitor, pardoned, exiled, celebrated, granted amnesty, he lived on the edge. He was a consummate panhandler and an epic drinker. Despite a complex vocabulary and rich, varied meters, he claimed to have never revised a poem. Legend says he drowned in the Yellow River, drunk, trying to embrace the reflection of the moon in 762.
