Bao Zhao (; c. 414September 466), courtesy name Mingyuan (), was an early medieval Chinese poet, writer, and official known for his ''shi'' poetry, ''fu'' rhapsodies, and parallel prose. Bao's best known surviving work is his "''Fu'' on the Ruined City" (''Wú chéng fù'' ), a long ''fu'' rhapsody on the ruined city of Guangling. ==Life and career== Bao Zhao was born around the year 414, though historical sources give contradictory information on his birth place. He was probably born in the town of Jingkou (modern Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province), though sources variously say he was born in the towns of Shangdang (modern Changzi, Shanxi Province) or Xuzhou (modern Tancheng County, Shandong Province). Little is known of Bao's early life. He was probably a farmer as a young man before beginning his career as an official on the staffs of local princes of the Liu Song dynasty. From about 438, Bao served as an attendant gentleman (''shìláng'' ) to Liu Yiqing, the prince of Linchuan. In the early 440s, Liu served as governor of Jiangzhou (roughly corresponding to modern Jiangxi and Fujian Provinces), and Bao writes that he traveled around the area of modern Jiujiang, writing poems on the mountain scenery around Mount Lu. After Liu Yiqing's death in 444, Bao briefly returned home to Jingkou, then in 445 joined the staff of Liu Jun (436463), another Liu Song prince, who was serving as governor of Yangzhou (modern Nanjing). Bao accompanied Liu Jun on his campaign to retaliate against the Xianbei-ruled Northern Wei dynasty, which had invaded southern China in January 451. Bao left Liu Jun's staff about 452, spending the next 12 years serving in various local governmental positions, as well as a stint in the imperial capital Jiankang (modern Nanjing) as a professor at the Imperial Academy. In 464, Bao joined the staff of the seven-year-old prince Liu Zixu (457466), who nominally served as governor of Jingzhou. In early 466, another Liu Song prince rebelled and declared himself Emperor, and Liu Zixu soon joined the rebellion, probably encouraged by his adult advisors. The rebellion was put down in the following months, and in September 466 imperial forces retook Jingzhou. The nine-year-old Liu Zixu was ordered to commit suicide, after which all of his staff members, including Bao, were executed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bao Zhao」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
