This poem is ascribed both to Song Zhiwen (宋之问) and to Lin Pin (李频) in the book A Complete Collection of Tang Poetry. Scholars tend to believe that this poem was written by Song, based on the historical records of his biography. Kiang and Bynner ascribed it to Li, just as it was in 300 Tang Poems. It was the same with the translation of “The Gold-woven Dress,” which was ascribed both as being anonymous and to Bai Juyi in A Complete Collection of Tang Poetry, while in The Jade Mountain it was credit to Du Qiuniang (杜秋娘), even though Du Qiuniang was actually a heroine in one of Du Mu’s poems instead of being a poet of Tang.
