At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, many famous poets also emerged, of which Pei Qiong was one of the best. He is famous for his studies, under the "late Yuan Dynasty Jiangnan poetry titan" Yang Weizhen, whose poetry is harmonious and elegant, delicate and not group, ingenious, good at pinning personal emotions and literary views through myths and fables, and has a distinct sense of art, which is a unique poet in the literary circle in the early Ming Dynasty. Today, we will enjoy the ten poems of the poet Bei Qiong in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, and enter the spiritual world of the poet behind the text.
On the ancestors of Pei Qiong, there have also been many literati and inkers, and his family is not a famous and prestigious family, and the people are not prosperous, which can be spied out from his poems. He was supposed to be an only son, lost his father at an early age, lived extremely lonely and poor, and when he was less than thirty years old, he entered Yang Weizhen's door and studied poetry. Pei Qiong lived during the Yuan dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and the governing policies of the two dynasties were very different, so his poetry background and creative philosophy would be different. Because the Yuan Dynasty was a unified regime of ethnic minorities, the people of the whole country were divided into four classes, of which the southerners had the lowest status and were discriminated against. Born in Zhejiang, Pei Qiong is undoubtedly a southerner, and in some of his poems, he embodies the specific psychology of national oppression.
Due to the increasingly inferior status of Confucianism in the Yuan Dynasty, as an uncompromising Confucian student, the goal of life through learning could not be achieved in the Yuan Dynasty, so in his poems, it can be seen that as a Confucian student, he was looked down upon and so suffered helplessly and sadly. In addition, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, due to the instability of the political situation, heavy taxes, and continuous natural disasters, under the superposition of various contradictions, under the superposition of various contradictions, in such a living environment, the people's lives were miserable, and peasant uprisings rose and fell, as a literati without the strength of chickens, he could only pick up a pen and paper, hoping that the war would end as soon as possible and look forward to a happy life as soon as possible.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the establishment of various systems strengthened the authoritarian centralization, and the courtesy of the literati did not improve much, especially the thinking of the readers, and the emperor's only orders were obeyed. In the early days, in order to stabilize the situation, Zhu Yuanzhang paid attention to the recruitment of talents, and it became a common practice for hermits to enter the DPRK as officials. But later, the status of the literati was in crisis, and many literati were persecuted. However, Pei Qiong was lucky, he accepted the official position provided by the Ming Dynasty, taught as a profession, and then retired to his hometown, died the following year, and walked through his life. In the poems created during the Ming Dynasty, Pei Qiong showed a complex heart, mainly because the courtesy of the literati made his inner emotions fluctuate.

Inscribed poems to appreciate the paintings of others, he combines literary creation and painting, using artistic techniques such as lines, light and shade structures, space, and color, to present the poetry with superb expressiveness and appeal, and the text and painting complement each other.

He will also evaluate the painting, reflecting his super high painting appreciation, and use allusions to associate with ideas, enriching the rich connotation of the painting and enriching the content expressed in the painting. This kind of poetry is gentle, stable, meticulous, and unique in artistic aesthetics. Although his poems are not the most brilliant in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, his inscription poems enrich the poetry world and form a beautiful landscape.
It is worth mentioning that Pei Qiong is good at using myths and fables in poetry, which makes the poetry have cultural thickness and highlights the profundity of mainland culture. In terms of the concept of poetry creation, Berjun believes that good poetry is not fast enough, and there must be accumulation to write good poetry, which can be seen that Berjun advocates the inner cultivation of poets and the expansion of human experience. In addition, Bei Qiong believes that poetry should not deliberately pursue the rhythm of sound, but should pursue the integrity of temperament, not too much carving and whitewashing, in order to pursue the natural beauty of poetry.
