Li Wen

Li Wen (1607–1647), courtesy name Shuzhang, was a native of Huating in Jiangnan (present-day Shanghai) and a poet of the late Ming and early Qing. Together with Chen Zilong and Song Zhengyu, he was known as one of the "Three Masters of Yunjian" and jointly promoted the Yunjian school of poetry and ci. He was also an important member of the Jishe society. After the fall of the Ming, he served the Qing as a secretary in the Grand Secretariat. His works include the Liaozhai Ji and Liaozhai Houji. His poetry and prose often express longing for the fallen dynasty and reflections on his own life, in a somber style, and he had a certain influence on the Jiangnan literary scene during the Ming–Qing transition. It should be noted that the works held here cover education, law, management, history, inspirational growth and finance, which clearly differ from the scope of the above poet's writings; public information is limited, and it is difficult to confirm whether they are the same author.
