Abstract

[Literature in the periods of Hongwu and Yongle presented some special features when transferring from the Yuan Dynasty to the the Ming Dynasty. Literati at the time when entering the Ming Dynasty had complicated feelings towards the perished Yuan Dynasty and the new dynasty. In the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the ruling Zhu family purged the court, exerting influences on the spirit of the literati. Vitalizing the state with his essays, Song Lian set an example for orthodox literature in the new era while Liu Ji and Gao Qi’s poems lost their leading status as they had in the Yuan Dynasty. The restoration of poems and prose gained momentum in the early Ming Dynasty and classical Chinese novels were restored by carrying a fresh sentiment, though still in the old style. New Remarks by Oil Lamp, written by Qi You in the early Ming Dynasty, was a recurrence of the legend genre of the Tang Dynasty. The enrapt love stories in his book successfully epitomized a disordered and dissociative society in the late period of the Yuan Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, Zaju of the Yuan Dynasty did not become extinct. Instead, there was a successful theorist named Zhu Quan and a successful writer named Zhu Youdundun in Zaju. It was impossible to deter literature in the early Ming Dynasty from its further development through external forces.]
