Wei Zhuang (ca. 836-ca. 910), courtesy name Duanji, was a Han Chinese from Duling, Chang’an (near Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, China). He was a poet and lyricist in the late Tang Dynasty and the prime minister of the Former Shu during the Five Dynasties. He was the seventh-generation grandson of Wei Daijia, the right prime minister of Wenchang, and the fourth-generation grandson of Wei Yingwu, the governor of Suzhou. Wei Zhuang was good at poetry and was a representative writer of the “Huajian School” together with Wen Tingyun, and they were called “Wen Wei”. His long poem “The Song of a Qin Woman” reflects the unfortunate experience of women in war and was quite famous at the time. It was called “Three Wonders of Yuefu” together with “The Peacock Flies Southeast” and “The Ballad of Mulan”. There are ten volumes of “Huanhua Collection”, and later generations compiled his poems as “Huanhua Ci”. “Complete Tang Poems” records 316 of his poems.

韦庄·《别李秀才》
千山红树万山云，把酒相看日又曛。
一曲离歌两行泪，更知何地再逢君。
Farewell to Scholar Lee
Wee Chuang
Thousand hills of red trees plus thousands of mountain clouds,
While we are watching our wines another twilight is impending;
The sad departing song would bring two lines of flowing tears,
I am wondering when shall we be able to meet each other again?
