Chinese literati and painter in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Born in Taicang (Jiangsu Province). Style name: Jun Gong. Pen name: Meicun. Passed the Jinshi examination in 1631. Was serving as the Imperial Superintendent of Nanjing when the Ming fell and retired to his hometown. In 1653, he was invited by the Qing dynasty to serve, and was promoted from a secretary to a clerk in the Secretariat to a ceremonial wine in the Imperial Superintendent's Office. In 1654, he returned home to mourn his mother and died in Meicun, near his hometown, regretting having served the Qing dynasty. At a young age, he became a pupil of Zhang Pu and was recognized, and joined the literary society "Revival Society" at the same time as it was formed. His poetry in his youth was modeled on Tang poetry and was full of brilliant talent, but after the fall of the Ming, he wrote ancient seven-character poems with melancholy about the turmoil and tragedy of the country's fall at the end of the Ming, but his poetry faded in his later years. Along with Qian Qianyi, he held a leading position in the poetry world in the early Qing Dynasty, and together with Gong Dingji, he is known as one of the "Three Great Masters of the Jiangzuo." He also led the revival of poetry in the Qing Dynasty, and was skilled in calligraphy and painting. As a historian, he wrote works such as "Suikou Jilue" and plays such as "Mao Lingchun" and "Tong Tiantai." His works are collected in the "Mumura Family Manuscripts," and annotations of his poems are provided in "Wu Shi Jilan" by Jin Rongfan of the Qing Dynasty and "Wu Shi Zhuan Annotations" by Wu Yifeng.

中国，明末清初の文人，画家。太倉 (江蘇省) の人。字，駿公。号，梅村。崇禎4 (1631) 年進士に及第。南京国子監司業のとき明の滅亡にあい，故郷に引退。順治 10 (53) 年，清朝のたっての招請でやむなく出仕し，秘書院侍講から国子監祭酒になったが，同 13年母の喪のために家に帰り，そのまま故郷近くの梅村にとどまって清朝に仕えたことを悔みつつ世を終った。若くして張溥 (ちょうふ) の門に入って認められ，文学結社「復社」の結成と同時に参加した。若い頃の詩は唐詩を範として華麗な才気にあふれ，明滅亡後は明末の動乱，亡国の悲劇を哀愁をこめて七言古詩にうたい，晩年になるにつれて枯れていった。銭謙益とともに清初の詩壇で指導的な地位にあり，さらに龔鼎孳 (きょうていじ) を加えて「江左三大家」と呼ばれる。詞でも，清代におけるその復興の先導となり，また書画に長じ，歴史家としても『綏寇 (すいこう) 紀略』などがあり，戯曲『秣陵春』『通天台』などの作もある。作品は『梅村家蔵稿』に収められ，その詩の注釈が清のきん栄藩 (きんえいはん) の『呉詩集覧』，同じく呉翌鳳の『呉詩箋注』などで行われている。
