Yu Xuanji is one of the prominent female poets of Tang dynasty. She lived most of her life in Chang an, the capital city of Tang dynasty. At the age of sixteen, She married censor Li yi, and three years later she was abandoned. After living in Jiangling for a while, she came to live in a Taoist convent where she became a nun and courtesan. When she was about twenty seven, she was executed for murdering her maid. In her short and sad life, we could know that she had tried at least three of the available roles by which women could achieve the accomplishments that were supposed for men. Firstly, as a concubine in her family, her literary talents were admired and encouraged by her husband Li yi. Secondly, as a Taoist nun, she could lived a soul searching and intellectual life in the community. Finally, as a courtesan, she could associate with well educated and powerful men who could appreciate her literary talents, intellectual wits and personal attractiveness. It was with these different roles that she could obtain different perspectives into life and took more initiative to discover round facets of life. As a result from her life experiment, many good pieces were created. The themes of her poems cover different aspects, but missing her husbands, flirting with other writers and lovers, and pondering about spiritual truths was the staple.
