Residing by the banks of the Huanhua Stream, she crafted her own distinctive peach-colored stationery, known as \"\"Xue Tao Stationery,\"\" which she used for composing poetry. Xue Tao is celebrated as one of the Four Great Talented Women of Shu, alongside Zhuo Wenjun, Lady Huarui, and Huang E, and also counted among the Four Great Poetesses of the Tang Dynasty, together with Yu Xuanji, Li Ye, and Liu Caichun. A Ming dynasty compilation, Collected Poems of Xue Tao, preserves her literary legacy. This volume is part of the \"\"Sichuan Historical Figures Series: Biographies\"\" dedicated to the life and contributions of Xue Tao as an outstanding poet of the Mid-Tang period. Beginning with her family background and early life, the book focuses on her experiences in the Sichuan region and her prolific poetic career-particularly highlighting her emblematic bamboo-themed poems that express personal ideals through natural imagery. Through her story, the book offers a vivid lens through which to understand the evolution of Mid-Tang poetry and the unique cultural milieu of Sichuan. 薛涛（约770-832），字洪度，唐代乐妓、女诗人、清客，世人往往称之为\"女校书\"。生于长安（今陕西西安），长于成都。薛涛居浣花溪上，自制桃红色的小彩笺，用以写诗，被称为\"薛涛笺\"。 薛涛与卓文君、花蕊夫人、黄峨并称蜀中四大才女，与鱼玄机、李冶、刘采春并称唐代四大女诗人。明人辑有《薛涛诗》。 本书为\"四川历史名人丛书-传记系列\"之一，主要讲述了唐代女诗人薛涛的生平事迹以及她作为中唐杰出女诗人的重要贡献。本书从薛涛的家世生平入手，重点叙述了她在蜀地的生活经历，以及她作为中唐写诗多的女诗人的诗歌创作经历，尤其是她以竹为题的托物寄志的诗歌等，为我们了解中唐诗歌的发展过程及蜀地文化，提供了生动的文本。\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"China National Publications Import \u0026 Export C","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47888548331671,"sku":"9787545574708","price":2754.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9787545574708.webp?v=1781166655","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/xue-tao-courtesan-and-poet-34203-28059-20256-9787545574708","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
