Ding Xianzhi was one of the eighteen poets in The Collection of Danyang,a poetry anthology collected by Yin Fan in Tang Dynasty.About his life story,we only know that he occupied Runzhou as his native place and held the post of official registrar and district defender of Yuhang. According to the epitaph of Ding Xianzhi resently discovered in Luoyang,we find the records of his name in classic works were mistaken,and we can know more about Ding Xianzhi’s life in which his official career was very difficult but his literary reputation was flourishing.Besides,Chen Yunsheng,the writer of the epitaph also showed literary quality,and may had kindred relationship with Ding Xianzhi.
