Memorial to Dai Shulun in Jintan with a poem from Emperor Dezong

Dai Shulun, born in 732, was a native of Jintan, Runzhou (in today's Jiangsu). He served as a government official, however, in his later years, he was banished from the imperial court after the death of Emperor Daizong in 779.[2] He then held various provincial positions, including a stint as the governor of Fuzhou, Jiangxi and as the frontier commissioner (经略使, jinglue shi) of Rongzhou (容州) in Guangxi.[3] He was recalled ten years later back to the court, but died before he reached the capital in 789.[2]

Dai had ten collections of poetry published, but only two have survived to the present day.[2] One of his poems was included in the important Qing-era anthology Three Hundred Tang Poems.[4]
