About the author
Wang Ji was a Chinese poet who lived from 585 to 644, spanning the Sui and early Tang periods. He is often noted for writing in a direct, unforced style that helped shape the development of early Tang poetry.
His poems frequently return to rural scenes, friendship, solitude, and drinking, giving them an easy, human warmth. Readers often connect his work with a wish to step back from official life and find freedom in nature instead.
Information about his life is relatively limited in the sources I could confirm here, and I could not verify a suitable portrait image from a reliable page.
