Lin Bu

967 AD - 1028

Lin Bu was a Chinese poet during the Northern Song dynasty. His courtesy name was Junfu. One of the most famous verse masters of his time, Lin lived in recluse by the West Lake in Hangzhou for much of his later life. His works and theatrical solitude won him nationwide fame, and he was offered prestigious government posts, although he refused all civic duties in pursuit of his poetry. Long after he died, Lin's eccentric attitude and his works retained a vivid place in Song cultural imagination and later works.
