Political career
As a student, he published "Biandu fu" (汴都賦), which described the bustle of the capital.[2] The poem received high praise, and he found employment in government,[3] serving in roles such as head court librarian (秘書監).[3]
In the Yuanfeng era (1078-1085),[4] his abilities came to the attention of Emperor Shenzong[4] and he was appointed taixuezheng (太學正/太学正).[5] Under Emperor Huizong,[4] he worked as head of the Music Bureau (大晟府 Dachengfu),[1] which presided over court music, before going on to serve as a regional governor.[4]

Works
He is especially famous as a composer of ci,[1] a form of poetry that began in the Tang era and flourished during the Song Dynasty.[3]
His complex and elegant poetic style is noted for its polished and elaborate form, and has been praised as "simple and honest, and elegant" (渾厚和雅).[3]
His two-volume poetry anthology is called the Qingzhen-ji (清真集) or the Pianyu-ci (片玉詞).[1]
