周密
宋
Zhou Mi, courtesy name Gongjin and literary name Caocuang, also known as Pingzhou and Sishui Qianfu, was a late Southern Song poet, writer, and historian. His ancestral home was Jinan, and he later lived in Wuxing. He experienced the fall of the Southern Song and did not serve the Yuan dynasty. Zhou Mi's ci poetry is known for elegance, refinement, careful musicality, and richly polished imagery, making him an important figure in the late Southern Song 'elegant lyric' tradition. He also wrote major prose works such as 'Old Stories of Wulin,' 'Qidong Wild Words,' and 'Guixin Miscellaneous Records,' which preserve valuable information about Southern Song society, culture, and the capital Lin'an.
