brief account of the author's life

Wei Ye (960 ~ 1020), a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhongxian was originally a native of Shu, but later moved to Shanzhou (now Shanxian County, Henan Province). He built his own thatched cottage in the eastern suburb of Shanzhou from generation to generation. All his life, he was willing to farm and work hard. He planted bamboo trees and dug soil to lead the spring. He arranged the surrounding environment of his thatched cottage in a beautiful and secluded way. He often played the piano in the spring forest and wrote poems. He often chanted the local customs and idyllic landscape of Shanzhou.

At the beginning of Dazhong Xiangfu (1008), the Qidan emperor of Liao sent envoys to Kyoto to seek the second half of Weiye poetry collection from Zhenzong. Song Zhenzong felt that Weiye had added luster to it, so he asked Weiye to be an official. Wei Ye refused to be an official on the ground of "Mi Lu's nature, but he was crazy when he stopped Ying. How can he look at Dian long?". In the third year of Jingde (1006), Kouzhun, the Minister of Zhongshu and Minister of the Ministry of industry, was dismissed from the capital. When he was relegated to Shanzhou as governor, he visited Weiye himself. At that time, Weiye was nearly 50 years old. He thought he knew the history well and saw through the vicissitudes of the world. He gave a poem to Kouzhun: "go to heaven to say goodbye to the generals and return to the plains to be an immortal."

On December 3, the third year of Tianxi (December 31, 1019), Wei Ye's cousin Li Du died. Wei Ye was greatly grieved. Six days later, Wei yezu, the official of Shaanxi Province, reported to the court. In the first month of the next year, the emperor issued a commendation to him, calling him "the official of Shaanxi Province" and presenting him as the Secretary of Shaanxi Province. Wei Ye was poor all his life. He was respected by later generations and was once worshipped in the former Shanzhou Xiangxian temple. The Caotang villa he lived in is known as one of the eight scenic spots in Shanzhou - "spring dawn of Caotang".

In his poems, there are also occasional desolate and magnificent sentences, which are rare in the early Song Dynasty.
