杨果
金末元初
Yang Guo, courtesy name Zhengqing and literary name Xi'an, was a late Jin and early Yuan writer and sanqu poet from Puyin in Qizhou. He passed the jinshi examination under the Jin and later served under the Yuan, eventually reaching high office. He was known for integrity and administrative ability and was closely associated with Yuan Haowen. Yang Guo wrote poetry, prose, ci, and sanqu, with particular distinction in song. His sanqu often treats natural scenery, romantic feeling, and banquet life in a clear, ornate, and visually vivid style. The Ming critic Zhu Quan compared his songs to "fragrant and beautiful flowers and willows."
