What are the characteristics of poetry in the mid-Yuan Dynasty?
After the mid-Yuan Dynasty, the society tended to be relatively stable, and the resumption of the imperial examination gave intellectuals an opportunity to enter the body. Taoism, especially in the Song Dynasty, played the role of "governing the mind as a golden yuan" (Lu Xun's words). Many poets are also Neo-Confucianists. They have inherited the poetic purport of Song Confucianism, which emphasizes Taoism over literature, helps the world to educate, and stops at etiquette, and their poetic style has gradually turned to elegance and integrity. Together with Yu Ji, Yang Zai, Frant Gwo and Guo Jie, they are called "Four Poets of Yuan Dynasty".
