Sima Xiangru Sima Xiangru ( , ; c. 179117BC) was an ancient Chinese poet, writer, musician, and official who lived during the Western Han Dynasty. Sima is a significant figure in the history of Classical Chinese poetry, and is generally regarded as the greatest of all composers of Chinese "fu" rhapsodies. His poetry includes his invention or at least development of the "fu" form, applying new metrical rhythms to the lines of poetry, which he mixed with lines of prose, and provided with several of what would in ensuing centuries become among a group of common set topics for this genre. He was also versatile enough to write in the "Chu ci" style, while it was enjoying a renaissance, and he also wrote lyrics in what would become known as the "yuefu" formal style.
