Li Ho was born into a noble but impoverished family living in Ch'ang-ku, in the Honan countryside, in A.D. 791. Hugh Gordon Porteus comments: "Because Ho wrote so much of ghosts and haunted places, and because of the apparition which is alleged to have spoken to him on his early deathbed ... Li Ho has been called 'The Ghost Poet.'" He died In A.D. 117.
