music.wikisort.org - PoetWang Bao (c. 84 – c. 53 BCE), courtesy name Ziyuan (子淵), was a Chinese poet during the Western Han Dynasty. He was well versed in the Classical Chinese poetry tradition. He was involved in the Chu Ci poetry revival which took place in the second part of Emperor Xuan's reign, and which led to the creation of poetry that would eventually form part of the early poetry anthology by the same name, compiled by Wang Yi. Chu Ci means "literature of Chu", Chu being the area of a former independent kingdom, located in what was from the viewpoint of the Han Dynasty the south of China. Wang Bao is particularly known today as the author of the Chu Ci section "Nine Regrets". His poetry was not as famous as "Li Sao" or "Heavenly Questions". Indeed sometimes Qu Yuan has been credited as the author of his poetry (as have all the Chu Ci contents) . Wang Bao's works were included in one of the two major early anthologies of Chinese poetry which has helped to secure Wang Bao's legacy as a poet and author. Wang Bao became famous during the reign of Han Dynasty emperor Emperor Xuan (r. 74 BCE – 49 BCE), and he attended the courts of the emperor and the prince, his presumptive heir.
In this Chinese name, the family name is Wang.

Biography
Early years
Wang Bao was a native of Ziyang, in Sichuan: the Sichuan area was then known as Shu and was one of the remote parts of the territory of the Han Empire.[2] One of Wang Bao's songs incorporating lyrics which he wrote by commission from a local official in praise of the Han government and which were then set to music was eventually performed for emperor Xuan, who quite enjoyed the performance, particularly the lyrics, and summoned Wang by imperial command to attend him at court .[3] He was received as a court poet, with an honorary position as a government officer (with a nominal title but real salary), and where his continued literary success at the imperial court derived from his exercise of his talent for combining lyricism and flattery.[4]
Attending the emperor
While at the court, the poems of the Chuci style returned to fashion for some years, a revival in which Wang Bao was a participant.[5] Wang was assigned to cheer up the heir apparent who was suffering from depression, reciting his writings until the prince felt better: most successful in this regard were a couple of his fu (or rhapsodies, as they are sometimes known), "The Flute" and "The Ganquan Palace":[6] the fu on the Ganquan Palace (traditional Chinese: 甘泉宮; simplified Chinese: 甘泉宫; pinyin: Gānquán gōng; "Sweet (or, Tasty) Springs Palace") was written about the Summer resort favoured by Emperor Wu and other emperors of the Han. The actual Ganquan palace was located in what is now Chunhua County, of Xianyang region, Shaanxi province, China: the site of its remains are one of the Major National Historical and Cultural Sites of Shaanxi.[7]
Death
However, after a few years he was ordered back to Shu, upon reports that a green rooster and a golden horse had appeared in the hills or mountains near Yizhou. While on his mission, assigned by Xuandi to bring the alleged golden horse to the capital, Wang became ill and died, to Xuandi's sorrow.[8] Wang Bao was a contemporary of Liu Xiang;[9] however, specific biographic dates for him are not available through the known surviving historical records, but the period in which he wrote the Chuci pieces should be between 60 and 50 BCE.[10]
Works
Wang Bao wrote the "Nine Regrets", consisting of nine poems in the "Song (Shijing)" style, plus a luan (envoi), which were incorporated into the Chu ci anthology, as its 11th section.[11] Wang Bao is also known for writing in the fu style, which was particularly popular during the Han Dynasty.[12] "The Slave's Contract" is an example of humorous writing, in which Wang Bao somewhat cruelly pretends to propose the purchase of a certain irascible old slave, presenting an extended account of the onerous list of duties to which the slave would then be responsible to perform.[13]

Wang Bao (c. 84 - c. 53 avant notre ère), prénom de courtoisie Ziyuan (子淵), est un poète chinois de la dynastie des Han occidentaux. Il connaissait bien la tradition de la poésie chinoise classique. Il a été impliqué dans le renouveau de la poésie Chu Ci qui a eu lieu dans la deuxième partie du règne de l'empereur Xuan, et qui a conduit à la création de poésie qui ferait finalement partie de l'anthologie de poésie du même nom, compilée par Wang Yi (en). Chu Ci signifie « littérature de Chu », Chu étant la région d'un ancien royaume indépendant, situé dans ce qui était du point de vue de la dynastie Han le sud de la Chine. Wang Bao est particulièrement connu aujourd'hui comme l'auteur de la section Chu Ci "Neuf Regrets". Sa poésie n'était pas aussi célèbre que Li sao ou Tianwen. En effet, parfois, Qu Yuan a été crédité comme l'auteur de sa poésie (comme tous les contenus Chu Ci). Les œuvres de Wang Bao ont été incluses dans l'une des deux premières anthologies majeures de poésie chinoise, ce qui a contribué à préserver l'héritage de Wang Bao en tant que poète et auteur. Wang Bao est devenu célèbre sous le règne de l'empereur de la dynastie Han, l'empereur Han Xuandi (74 avant notre ère - 49 avant notre ère), et il a assisté aux cours de l'empereur et du prince, son héritier présomptif.
