Du Shenyan (Wade–Giles:Tu Shen-yen,c. 645 – 708)[1][2] was a Chinese poet and politician. He was apoet of the earlyTang dynasty, and one of his poems was collected in the popular anthologyThree Hundred Tang Poems.
Du Shenyan was born around 645 and lived into his sixties. He was a poet, calligrapher (none of which is known to survive), and the grandfather of the famous poetDu Fu.[1]
Du Shenyan is perhaps best known for his one poem which is included in theThree Hundred Tang Poems, translated byWitter Bynner as "On a Walk in the Early Spring Harmonizing a Poem By my Friend Lu Stationed at Changzhou". A total of forty-three of his poems survive.[1]
