Du Shenyan (Wade–Giles: Tu Shen-yen, c. 645 – 708)[1][2] was a Chinese poet and politician. He was a poet of the early Tang dynasty, and one of his poems was collected in the popular anthology Three Hundred Tang Poems.
Poetry
Du Shenyan is perhaps best known for his one poem which is included in the Three Hundred Tang Poems, translated by Witter 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]
