Taohuatan Zhen literally "Pool of Peach Blossoms", is a town in Xuancheng, Anhui Province, People's Republic of China.
Taohuatan Town is featured in "To Wang Lun", a poem by Li Bai:
李白乘舟將欲行 忽聞岸上踏歌聲 桃花潭水深千尺 不及汪倫送我情
A boat I have boarded, Li Bai am I, and I'm all set to go, When suddenly from the shore a din I hear, of stomping and singing I know. The water in the Pool of Peach Blossoms is a thousand feet deep, Deep not as the parting sentiments, to me, Wang Lun, you show.
Three Chinese Poets is a book of poetry by the titular poets Wang Wei, Li Bai and Du Fu translated into English by Vikram Seth. The Three Poets were contemporaries and are considered to be amongst the greatest Chinese poets by many later scholars. The three have been described as a Buddhist recluse, a Taoist immortal and a Confucian sage respectively. Though this trichotomy has been criticised as simplistic and artificial, it can act as a guiding approximation. They lived in the Tang Dynasty and the political strife at that time affected all of their lives very much and this impact is evident in the poetry of all three.
Liu Yuxi was a Chinese essayist, philosopher, and poet active during the Tang dynasty.
