Yu Que (1303-1358), also spelled Tingxin (字廷心), literally Tianxin (天心), was one of the Tang Wu people of the Yuan Dynasty, who was one of the most talented and politically important scholars in the late Yuan Dynasty. In the first year of the Yuan Dynasty (1333), Jinshi and Di were conferred the title of Zhisi Prefecture (泗县, Inc. In the twelfth year of Zhengzheng (1352), Yu Que acted as deputy envoy of Huaixi Xuanwei and the capital marshal's office, and divided his troops to guard Anqing, and in the eighteenth year of Zheng (1358), he committed suicide in defeat. There is the "Collected Writings of Mr. Qingyang" passed down.
According to Yu Qiuyu's preface to Zhu Wenfu's Genealogy of the Yu Clan, Yu Que's great-grandfather and grandfather all lived in Guzang County, Wuwei County, Hexi (present-day Liangzhou District, Wuwei City), and his father, Sha Lazang Bu, moved to Luzhou. Therefore, Yu Qiuyu pursued Yu Que as the ancestor of the Yu surname, and believed that his family originated in Wuwei, Gansu.
Yu Que is a champion of the Yuan, and his poetry and literature are excellent, and here he looks at his style with his "Pseudo-Ancient (Two Songs)":
Two pseudo-ancient songs
Once upon a time in Xijing Day, I smelled it before the quality.
The Emperor Nine Qu wrapped up, ranked first from the Zhu Gate.
Ask who lives, the Great General.
Ping Ming shi yu gurudwara, car horse Ruoyun tun
Peony spice spoon Ding, baboon cast wine zun.
The praises of the United States of Donglu, yi play out of Western Qin.
Thin blue oxygen, ten miles Yang Qingfen.
The owner has a crazy life, and his face is like a middle-aged person
The fallacy is intended to be xuanni, and the contemplation is cut into the xuanwen.
The book is empty and self-suffering, and the name eunuch is not vibrant.
After a thousand years, An has Yang Ziyun?
again
Hao Tian turned the law of time, and the fire ran southwest.
Jin Shang fa group, white dew lowered Yan Wei.
Wrapping up the clothes to see the night, the bright moon is thin
Flying geese, chirping and mourning.
The red orchid is fragrant, and the cypress leaves are also separated.
Qiao Qiao Qianzhang Pine, lonely Taishan limit.
The frost cracks its skin, and the layer of ice breaks its orange.
If the destruction is overturned, the green will never move.
Grass and trees have the ultimate nature, and Mingzhe should abstain from it.
It can be seen that although Yu Queqi was born at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, his poetry does not carry the style of the Yellow Crown of the Yuan people, but with a strong atmosphere of Han and Wei ancient style, desolate and ancient, and the romance is subtle. The "History of the Yuan" says that its "poetic style is still on the left side of the river, and it is high to look up to Bao, Xu, and Yu below", and his life experience of civilian officials entering the unified army and northerners entering the south has endowed him with a great fusion of spiritual temperament, which acts on his poetry, that is, the stylistic characteristics of langlian and both abrupt and frustrated, which is really the main feature of his poetry.
