Lǐ Qúnyù 李羣玉 (fl. 847; zì Wénshān 文山), a Lǐzhōu 灃州 (modern Húnán Lǐxiàn) native, became prominent in mid-9th-century Chángān literary circles. In Dàzhōng 8 (854) he traveled to court to present his verse, was recommended by Lìnghú Tāo 令狐綯 (chief minister), and was awarded the post of Hóngwén guǎn jiàoshūláng (Editor at the Hóngwén Academy).
Lǐ was the shàng rùshì (top-ranked disciple) of Bào Róng’s 鮑溶 bójiě hóngbá (broad-explanatory, generously-extracting) school in Zhāng Wèi’s 張為 Zhǔkè tú school-of-poetry typology. His verse drew heavily on the Xiāng (Xiāng-river) regional landscape and goddess traditions; the Tàipíng guǎngjì records (and the Sìkù tíyào dismisses as fabrication) a posthumous anecdote of his sexual encounter with the Xiāngjūn goddess.
