Shen Quanqi (沈佺期; c. 650 – 729), also known as
Yunqing (雲卿), was a Chinese poet and government official active during the
Tang dynasty, and the interluding "restored Zhou dynasty" of
Wu Zetian. Shen Quanqi is especially known for his work in developing and perfecting the regulated verse form of Classical Chinese poetry. Shen's poetry ranges from the elegant court style of the poetry which he wrote while at court and the intensely anguished poems which he wrote during his years of exile, in the extreme south of the empire.

Life
He was born in the prefecture of Neihuang in the province of Xiangzhou, which is known today as the province of Henan.
In 675, Shen Quanqi obtained a magistrate degree. He then served several positions as a scholar at the imperial court, and was appointed by the government official Zhang Yizhi. However, the Wuzhou Dynasty was overthrown, and Zhang Yizhi was executed. Shen Quanqi was arrested and imprisoned on charges of bribery and corruption. He was then released, but sent in exile to Huanzhou of Annan Duhufu, which is known today as Vinh in Vietnam. In 706, he was pardoned, and recalled to resume his duties at the imperial court, where he eventually worked up to the position of imperial diarist and then grand secretary.
Works
He made numerous contributions to Chinese poetry, including the Five-verse poems (五言律詩). He was also known to write together with poet Song Zhiwen, and the two were known as the "Shen-Song" (沈宋) pair.
Due to his exile to Annan (today known as Vietnam), he wrote numerous poems in the region. Many of his poems written there are some of the earliest literary works concerning Vietnam.

生平
上元二年（675年）進士。武后時，官協律郎累遷考功員外郎。曾因受賄入獄。出獄後複職，遷給事中。唐中宗時，因勾結張昌宗兄弟，被流放到驩州（今屬越南）。神龍三年（707年），召拜起居郎兼修文館直學士，常侍宮中。後歷中書舍人、太子少詹事。
沈佺期工于五言律詩，與宋之問同為當時著名的宮廷詩人，文學史上並稱「沈宋」。他們所作多為歌舞昇平的應制詩，風格綺靡，不脫梁，陳宮體詩風。可是沈、宋倆人總結了六朝以來新體詩創作的經驗，對律詩的成熟與定型，貢獻頗大，是唐代五言律詩的奠基人。
