This study examines the literary dynamics of late Ming Jiangxi through the lens of Shu Yuejing and his compilation, Huangming Yuzhang Shixuan (Imperial Ming Poetry Selection of Yuzhang). It traces the evolution of Jiangxi's poetic societies from the Furong Society to the Longguang and Kuangshan societies, highlighting the divergences between the aristocracy and the gentry. In response to Wang Shizhen's critique that ''there is no poetry west of the Yangtze,'' Shu Yuejing devoted his later years to compiling this anthology to assert Jiangxi's poetic legacy. The anthology is centered on the Kuangshan Society’s members and excludes contributions from the aristocracy, creating a poetic tradition that ran parallel to that of the aristocrats. However, as the literary trend shifted toward zhiyi (eight-legged essay) writing, younger scholars gravitated away from poetry societies toward essay-writing clubs. Shu Yuejing's anthology thus represents the final chapter of Jiangxi's revivalist poetic tradition before the emergence of new literary trends. |
