A Brief Introduction to the Author of Abandoned Temple from Longmen
Liu Cang (about 867 AD) was born in Wenyang (now Ningyang, Shandong). The average year of birth and death is unknown, slightly later than Du Mu and Xu Hun, and lives in Xian Tong, Tang Yizong. He is burly, honest, good at drinking and talking about ancient and modern times, which makes people listen tirelessly all day.
In 854 AD (the eighth year of Dazhong), Liu Cang and Li Pin joined the ranks of Jinshi. Qiu Huayuan was transferred to Longmen. Cang is the author of a collection of poems, New Records of Literature, which has spread all over the world. In 854 (the eighth year of Emperor Xuanzong's reign), Liu Cang was a scholar. According to the biography of talented people in the Tang Dynasty, Liu Cang repeatedly quoted scholars who were not the first. When he got it for the first time, he was already white-haired.
Liu Cang's Autumn Passing Zhaoling is associated with a cloud: "It's like the sunset is independent, the sky is falling, and the smoke trees in Qiu Guang are broken." Before him, the Tang people wrote down the mausoleum of Emperor Taizong in this bleak way.
