Template:Short description Template:No footnotes Template:Family name hatnote Lu Guimeng (Template:Zh; died 881), courtesy name Luwang ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}), was a recluse Chinese poet of the Tang dynasty. He lived in seclusion at Puli near Suzhou. His pseudonyms included Mr. Puli ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}), Tiansuizhi ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}), and Jianghu Sanren ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}).
He and his friend, the fellow poet Pi Rixiu, created a new style of matching rhyme poetry. One of them would compose a poem, and the other would then reply with a new poem using the same rhyme. His works included:
- Songlin Ji ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}), a collection of matching rhyme poems by Lu and Pi Rixiu
- Puli Ji ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}), Collection of Puli
- The Classic of the Plough, a book that described in detail the curved iron plough
TombEdit
Lu Guimeng's tomb is near the Baoshen temple in Luzhi, Suzhou. Two tall ginkgo trees nearby were hand-planted by him and still stand today. The Fair Breeze Pavilion was reputed to be his favourite place for study and meeting friends.
