Shen Shanbao

Shen Shanbao (1808-1862) was a Chinese poet and writer during the Qing Dynasty.

Her birthplace was Hangzhou, but she moved to Beijing in 1837. She was friends with the writer Ding Pei, who wrote a preview for her first poetry collection in 1836.

Shen Shanbao used her poems to express her sadness and despair. She wrote the "Mingyuan Shihua", about women poets of the Qing Dynasty and poetry collections.
