*''Born: [[772]]''
*''Died: [[846]]''
*''Other Names'': 楽天 ''(C: Letian / J: Rakuten)''
*''Chinese / Japanese'': 白居易 ''(Bai Juyi, Bo Juyi / Haku Kyoi)''
Bai Juyi, along with [[Du Fu]], [[Li Bai]], and [[Wang Wei]], is considered one of the greatest Chinese poets in history.
He was originally from Taiyuan in [[Shanxi province]], and later led a successful career as a scholar-bureaucrat at the Imperial Court.
Bai was a staunch defender of [[Confucianism]] and critic of Imperial excess and ostentation; his poetry has been described as clear and intelligible, being written in a plain, accessible style.
