Бань Гу
Ban Gu (AD32–92) was a Chinese historian, politician, and poet best known for his part in compiling the "Book of Han", the second of China's 24 dynastic histories. He also wrote a number of "fu", a major literary form, part prose and part poetry, which is particularly associated with the Han era. A number of Ban's "fu" were collected by Xiao Tong in the "Wen Xuan".
