Qin Taoyu (秦韬玉, dates unknown), a late Tang dynasty poet from Jingzhao (modern Xi'an, Shaanxi Province), rose from humble origins to early literary prominence. Specializing in seven-character regulated verse, his technically refined poetry frequently explored themes of boudoir melancholy and impoverished women, offering poignant social commentary on late Tang society. The Complete Tang Poems preserves 36 of his works, distinguished by their elegiac depth and unique voice among late Tang poetic traditions.
