Wang Mian's Mo Mei in Yuan Dynasty

Creation background

This poem was written in about nine to ten years from Yuan Shundi to Zheng Zheng (1349- 1350). Wang Mian returned to Shaoxing after a long-distance roaming, and there was a plum blossom house in Jiulishan, Huiji, claiming to be the owner of the plum blossom house. This poem is written here.

At this time, on the eve of the peasant uprising at the end of Yuan Dynasty, facing the insoluble contradictions in real life, the author wrote this poem emotionally.
