Cui Hao ( 崔颢 ) lived between 704 and 754, mostly under the reign of Emperor Xuanzong 唐玄宗 (713-756) of the Tang Dynasty in what is called the “Golden Age of the Tang Dynasty”. At roughly the same time in Europe, the Emirate of Cordoba was nearing its birth.

崔颢 was contemporary with other great Tang poets such as Li Bai ( 李白 ), Du Fu ( 杜甫 ), Meng Haoran ( 孟浩然 ), Wang Wei ( 王維 ). In total, about 50,000 poems written by over 2,000 authors survived from that period, according to the book Quan Tangshi (全 唐诗 = Anthology of Tang Poetry) published in 1705.
