Nei-hsiang

About the time he was forty, Yuan Hao-wen served in a series of posts in southern Honan as a local official. He was governor of three prefectures — Nei-hsiang, Nan-yang, and Chen-p’ing — all in southwest Honan. Nei-hsiang was then alive with literati refugees, and Tu Shan-fu and Ma Ko in particular were his good poet-friends.
