孟浩然 / Meng Haoran

孟浩然 / Meng Haoran is the Tang poet used in EP264 踏访“唐诗之路”:盛唐气象少年心 to ground the [[ZhedongTangPoetryRoad|浙东唐诗之路]] branch. The episode says he traveled in southeastern China after failing the jinshi exam around age 40, spending roughly three years in Zhejiang while moving through routes associated with Shaoxing, Shengzhou, Xinchang, Tiantai, and southern cultural memory.

The source is careful about uncertainty. It notes that scholars differ on Meng Haoran’s exact months, sites, and itinerary, so his page should treat Zhejiang travel as a meaningful literary-geography frame rather than a fully fixed route map.
