China was a poet in Tang Dynasty. Xiangyang Xiangzhou (now Xiangfan, Hubei) Xiangyang is known as Meng Xiangyang in the world.

In the first half of my life, I mainly stayed at home to study and adapted my own poems. Once lived in seclusion in Lumen Mountain. 40 years old, traveled to Chang 'an and returned to Xiangyang. I made friends with Zhang Jiuling and Wang Wei when I was in Chang 'an. There is a poem title. After roaming in wuyue, the landscape is extremely poor, so as to solve the frustration of official career. Before and after, I also traveled to Yangzhou and some places in Hunan, Jiangxi and Sichuan, and also stayed in Luoyang. In the 22nd year of Kaiyuan (734), Han Chaozong, the secretariat of Xiangzhou, invited him to Chang 'an with him, which made him famous. However, Meng Haoran didn't respect fame, so he didn't go. Twenty-five years, Zhang Jiuling as a long history of Jingzhou, the shogunate, less than a year to return home. Twenty-eight years later, he got a rash and back disease, and will recover soon. So he came to Xiangyang in Wang Changling and met him happily. He died of binge drinking and eating fresh food.

Meng Haoran was born in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and he was determined to use the world in his early years. After experiencing the hardships and pains of his official career, he can still respect himself, not flatter the world, and be a lifelong hermit.

Meng Haoran's poems are mostly five-character short stories with limited themes. He writes more about landscapes, pastoral areas, seclusion and travel. Although it is not without cynicism, it is more of a poet's self-expression. He and Wang Wei are also called Wang Meng. Although his poems are not as broad as Wang's, they have unique artistic attainments, and they are the pioneering works of the pastoral poetry school in Tang Dynasty after Tao Yuanming, Xie Lingyun and Xie Tiao. His poems are light and simple, affectionate and true, full of wonderful and complacent interests. For example, Qiu Deng Wan Shan sends Zhang Wu, Guo Zhuang, Xiao Chun and other articles. They are all natural, elegant in sound and rhyme, beautiful in artistic conception and infinite in ethereal spirit.

Meng's poems are based on broadmindedness and clarity, but "there is a strong free and easy atmosphere in the rush" (). For example, "Dongting Lake reports to Premier Zhang" and "Clouds dream and fog come over Yueyang City" to describe the spectacular famous sentences of Dongting Lake. But this kind of poem is rare in Meng's poems after all. Generally speaking, the content of Meng's poems is thin, which makes him trapped by space.

The popular Collection of Meng Haoran is an engraving of the early Southern Song Dynasty, with 263 poems, but some of them are other people's works.
