Cen Can (about 7 15 years, 770 years) was a poet of the Tang Dynasty. He was originally from Nanyang (now Xinye, Henan) and moved to Jiangling (now Hubei). Han nationality, born in Jiangling, Jingzhou (Jiangling, Hubei), died at the age of 56 and was a famous frontier poet in Tang Dynasty. His poems are full of romantic characteristics, magnificent momentum, rich imagination, magnificent colors, passionate and unrestrained, especially good at seven-character songs.

Cen Can was born in Xianzhou, Henan Province (near Xuchang, Henan Province) in the third year of Kaiyuan (AD 7 15), when his father was the secretariat of Xianzhou. Cen Can's great-grandfather, Shanfang, moved to Jingzhou Jiangling (now Hubei Jiangling) from Jiyang (now Xinye County, Henan Province). He was born in a family of bureaucrats and nobles. His great-grandfather Cen Wenben was Emperor Taizong, his great-grandfather Chang Qian was Emperor Gaozong, and his uncle Xi Xiang Rui Zong.

However, when Chang Qian was killed, the five sons were given the death, and Xi also fell over, and his family was ruined, and dozens of Cen's relatives were exiled. His father, Zhi, was the secretariat of Xian and Jin (now Linfen, Shanxi), but unfortunately he died very early.

Extended data

The theme of Cen Can's poems involves narrating ambition, giving answers, landscapes and traveling, among which frontier fortress poems are the most outstanding and magnificent. Cen Can went to the frontier fortress twice and wrote more than 70 frontier fortress poems. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, he wrote the most frontier fortress poems and made the most outstanding achievements.

In his works, no enemy can be a real opponent in the face of the great power of the Tang Empire, so he doesn't need to write about the outstanding struggle and hard sacrifice of the soldiers. What he wants to write is another great power that lies in front of the soldiers, that is, the harsh nature.

For example, in "Going on a Journey to the West", the wind roared on a snowy night, flying sand and stones, and the forbidding harsh climate and environment in these frontier deserts became a spectacular scenery that set off heroism in the poet's impression, and it was a wonderful beauty worthy of appreciation. If there is no enterprising spirit and courage to overcome difficulties, it is difficult to have this feeling. Only poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty can have this cheerful mind and this artistic feeling.
