王勃

Wang Bo (; 650–676), courtesy name Zi'an (子安), was a Chinese poet during the Tang dynasty, traditionally grouped together with Luo Binwang, Lu Zhaolin, and Yang Jiong as the Four Paragons of the Early Tang. He died at the age of 26, possibly from drowning, while going back from the Tang-ruled Jiaozhi after meeting his father. He opposed the spread of the Gong Ti Style (宫体诗风) of the Sui dynasty, and advocated a style rich in emotions.

He was most well-known for his parallel prose work Tengwang Ge Xu, which is included in the Chinese middle school curriculum.
