Biography

Li Pin (traditional Chinese: 李頻; simplified Chinese: 李频; pinyin: Lǐ Pín; Wade–Giles: Li P'in, 818–876) was a late Tang Dynasty poet. One of Li Pin's poems was collected in the popular anthology Three Hundred Tang Poems.

Poetry

Li Pin's poem "Crossing the Han River" is described by Kenneth Rexroth as "one of the most perfect poems of the later T'ang".

渡漢江 Crossing the Han River
嶺外音書絕, Away from home, I was longing for news
經冬復立春。 Winter after winter, spring after spring.
近鄉情更怯, Now, nearing my village, meeting people,
不敢問來人。 I dare not ask a single question.
