Abstract:
There existed three regimes in central Wu area in late Yuan and early Ming periods. There was great difference of official-or-reclusion, literati's parties and poetic thought of literati in central Wu area in this period. In late Yuan they fully enjoyed the joy of writing poetry in literati's parties in Yushan and laid more emphasis on forms of poetry than the contents so that the poems were featured with luxuriance. In Zhang Shicheng's regime they made high achievements in poetic thoughts and writing when they had parties in Beiguo Poetry Club. When Ming Dynasty was founded they had to associate each other by means of painting poems and compiled Poetry Anthologies of Listening to the Rain Tower (ting yu lou tu shi juan) and Poetry Anthologies of Wind and Rain Through Broken Windows (po chuang feng yu tu shi juan). In both poetry anthologies these poems were emotionally repressed and expressed in subtle and implicit ways, which became more prominent after the Ming Dynasty was founded. As far as official-or-reclusion, literati parties and poetic thoughts were concerned, there were both continuity and metamorphosis in the course of regime change.
