3 Major Elements

Because of the Yuan’s unique political situation (for example succession was a major issue: caused lots of struggle) there is a perceivable change in Chinese literature. However, because the dynasty was so short we can only notice its effects afterwards. The language in these texts are more focused on performance. Either simple classical chinese, or the colloquial “imitating ordinary speech”.

Maturation of colloquial literature
- Widespread in Song – print circulation

No longer stuck to civil examinations
- Free from certain sets of writing.
- Fu > no longer lufu
- Poetry > more lyrical

Ethnic Writers
- Produced many classical and popular forms.
