Answer 1

Should this have been put in another section, like history or homework as it has naught to do with royalty

Answer 2

Po Chü-i (772–846) was a Chinese poet of the Tang dynasty. He wrote over 2,800 poems, which he had copied and distributed to ensure their survival. He occupied several important government posts, rising to the presidency of the imperial board of war in 841.

His official career was initially successful: he was a Member of the Hanlin Academy and Reminder of the Left from 807 until 815, when he was exiled for remonstrating too forcefully. The Hanlin Academy (literally "brush wood court") was founded in China by Emperor Xuanzong in the 8th century during the time of the Tang dynasty.

It was an institution meant to perform, among others, secretarial and literary tasks for the court. Only the most elite scholars were allowed to join the academy. One of its main tasks was to decide on an interpretation of the Confucian classics. This formed the basis of examinations that gave access to the higher levels of bureaucracy.

The Academy operated continuously until its closure during the 1911 Xinhai Revolution. The Academy and its library were severely damaged in a fire started by Boxers during the siege of the Foreign Legations in Beijing in 1900. Many ancient texts were either destroyed by the flames or looted/rescued in their wake, including the last surviving volumes of the Yongle Encyclopedia.
