Wen Tingyun
Wen Tingyun (; 812–870) born Wen Qi (), courtesy name Feiqing () was a Chinese poet. He was an important Chinese lyricist of the late Tang Dynasty. He was born in Qi, Shanxi province, China. Over his literary career, Wen became regarded as the first truly distinctive writer of '' ci'', the song-verse style of poetry that dominated Chinese poetry during much of the late Tang dynasty and the Song dynasty. Most of his poems are "boudoir"-style verses that described the opulent furnishings and gardens of solitary women and their hidden desires.Owen (1996): 565. This style of poetry was commonly used for romantic communications between men and women in the entertainment districts of the Chinese capital Chang'an during the Tang dynasty. Wen is also considered to be the founder of “Hua Jian”, the school of Ci (or the Flowery school). This style of poets focusses on a set of distinct patterns and a rhythmic structure. Approximately 300 of his poems were preserved. More than ...

Huajian Faction
The Huajian Faction ({{zh, s=花间派, t=花間派, p=Huājiān Pài, l=In the Flowers Faction) is a faction of Ci poetry. It comprises Ci poets whose works were collected in the anthology ''Huajian Ji'', including, Wen Tingyun, Wei Zhuang and Zhang Mi. It is widely agreed that the faction was formed by Wen Tingyun during the Tang dynasty, and become popular during the Later Shu of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Features Most of the works of the faction have topics about love between young people, the sadness of farewell and boudoir complaints (in ancient China, unmarried young women were locked in a room), with no more than 58 characters and no titles. The style is mainly gentle, graceful and subtle, but there are also simple ones. The faction had already laid the foundation for later Ci during the Song dynasty, however, the artistic achievements of the faction were for a long time considered by academia to be less than Song Ci. The faction influenced the writ ...
