The Tang Cai Zi Zhuan ( simplified Chinese: 唐才子传; traditional Chinese: 唐才子傳; pinyin: Táng Cái Zǐ Zhuán; Wade–Giles: Tang3 Tsai1 Tzu3 Chuan1) is a Chinese collection of biographies of poets of the Tang Dynasty.
It was compiled by the Yuan dynasty figure Xin Wenfang. [1]
It is in ten volumes, [1] and contains biographies of 278 poets. [1]
The work was lost in China from the mid- Ming dynasty. [1] It was, however, copied in Japan at the Five Mountains, [1] and that text was later reexported back to China at the end of the Qing dynasty. [1]
