Wu Tongyu's creative background;
When Baipu was born, under the double attack of the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia, the Jin Dynasty was already in jeopardy. When Baipu was eight years old, Jin was destroyed by the Mongols. He lived a vagrant life when he was a child, and his mother died in the war. When Bai Pu grew up, her family was reduced and unhappy, and she was determined not to be an official. He refused to be drafted by the Yuan government many times, which made him "ridiculous" and "degenerate" (Wang Bowen's Preface to the Collection of Teana). He drifted for fifteen years and settled in Jinling at the age of fifty-five.
Bai Pu was born in a family with a strong literary atmosphere. When I was a teenager, I studied poetry and ancient prose under the famous poet Yuan Haowen. Therefore, his cultural accomplishment is very high, and his poems, Sanqu and Zaju were once famous. In his poems and Sanqu, he often shows his yearning for the motherland, his feelings about vicissitudes of life, his sadness about life and his gloomy mood.
