2[②] The Summary of Sikuquanshu evaluates Gao Qi: "Genius is better than poets in Ming Dynasty. 3 [3] Gu Xuanyan also said: "Gao began to change the wind of the Yuan Dynasty, and the voice of the early Ming Dynasty began to be gloomy, which was enough to inspire the Tang Dynasty." These are true comments, affirming Gao Qi's position in the history of literature. Gao Qi lived in an era of chaos at the end of Yuan Dynasty, which also created the poet's bumpy life experience. Gao Qi's life experience can be roughly divided into four stages: adolescence, deserting the army, joining Amin's gang, and returning to the fields to die. Gao Qi was born in the capital of song dynasty, then crossed to Lin 'an and moved to Wu Jun. "Wu in the Northern Guo", 4 [4] "Zu Benning, the father is one yuan". 5[⑤] Gao Qi claimed that "my family came out of the Bohai King, and my descendants were scattered in the south" and "sent (two years of high school literature) to Qiantang", also known as "my ancestors were the capital and made contributions" and "presented copper and plum". Gao Qi) ()' s grandparents are farmers, hardworking and capable, with a good family. Gao Qi wrote in one of "Going out to the East Village": "My hometown is a field, and my ancestors left me. Let me drink here, and I won't sit and cook. " By the time he was born, his family had declined. When Gao Qi was thirteen years old, Fang Guozhen, Taizhou (now Linhai County, Zhejiang Province) rose up and started fighting in Wuzhong, which was the "first disaster of the pack". The area was still under the jurisdiction of the Yuan Dynasty and was not affected by the war. The Gaos lived a quiet life, so Gao Qi spent his youth in a relaxed and generous environment. In the 16th year of Yuan Zheng Zhi (1356), Zhang Shicheng captured Pingjiang (now Suzhou); In the 23rd year of Zheng Zhi (1363), he became the king of Wu, and Zhu Yuanzhang occupied eastern Zhejiang and competed for it.
When a bonfire started a prairie fire, in the eighteenth year of Zheng Zheng, Gao Qi roamed the southeast counties. This is the only trip in Gao Qi's life. He roamed wuyue for three years and wrote "Fifteen Records of wuyue" on the way. This year's chronicle of Jintan is accompanied by Gao Qi's Preface to Poems, "From the Reform Movement of 1898 to the Boxer Regiment, and the rest: I have tasted the southeast counties and watched the mountains and rivers for a long time. ? Choose what can be redeemed and follow the meaning of the day. There are fifteen songs. 7 [7] Being in the reality of frequent wars and witnessing the tragic experiences of the people, the poems written truly and profoundly reflect the chaos in the southeast at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, with a strong sense of reality and epic, and their thoughts and mentality have also changed. Although the society was turbulent at that time, the ruling area of Zhang Shicheng was relatively calm, which led many intellectuals to retire to Wuzhong, and Gao Qi was no exception. In the spring of the first year of Hongwu (1368), Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, designated the country as Daming, and established Yuan Hongwu. In August, he officially announced the establishment of the Ming Empire with Nanjing as its capital. Gao Qi was thirty-three years old this year. After entering the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang revised the History of the Yuan Dynasty, and Gao Qi introduced Fang Guozhen, who was "particularly familiar with group history", and also recruited him to become an official. But when she was promoted, Gao Qi resigned and retired. After retiring, he was frightened by his resignation and didn't escape this robbery in the end. In the seventh year of Hongwu (1374), he was beheaded in the case of Wei Guan.
