Yang Wan-Li (11271206) is one of China's four masters of Southern
Sung poetry. These poems were written at what could be seen as a
low point in Sung history: an invasion by the Jurchens had forced
the Sung to flee to the southern city of Hangchow. But they created
at Hangchow a refuge of elegant solitude from which they gazed
longingly toward the north, and in this quiet setting, they were
able to enjoy the beauties of nature. Many of the poems are perfect
verbalizations of the magnificent landscape paintings of the Sung
painters: misty, ethereal and luminous. The poetry, however, also
holds the annoyances of overwork, aching feet, creaking bones and
the pleasures of wine, filling it with humanity and a zest for
living.
