Li Qiao
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Li Qiao (李峤, 644-713) was a Chinese poet and official born in Shanxi. He had a very successful, but inconsistent, official career, with frequent promotions and demotions. In 707 he was made Duke of Chaoguo, before his retirement in 713.
He is known for a series of 120 poems on objects; 89 of his other works also survive, written in the court style of the period.
There is a contemporary Taiwanese author named Li Qiao, or Li Chiao in Wade-Giles romanization.
