Choe Chiwon (857-tenth century) was a noted Korean Confucian official, philosopher, and poet of the late Unified Silla period (668-935). He studied for 16 years in Tang China, passed the Tang imperial examination, and rose to high office before returning to Korea, where he made ultimately futile attempts to reform the government of the declining Silla state. In his final years he turned more towards Buddhism and became a hermit scholar residing in and around Koreas Haeinsa Temple where one of his brothers was a monk. Choe Chiwon was also known by the literary names of Hae-un (Sea Cloud), or more commonly, Go-un (Lonely Cloud) which symbolizes the difficult life he led. rockbottom.tellmethestory user=story ; password=story Are you doing everything you can to leave your mark in the world?
