Zang Maoxun (; 1550–1620) was a Ming dynasty Chinese playwright and drama theorist from Changxing, Zhejiang province. His courtesy name was Jinshu (晋叔) and he may also be known by the pseudonym (hao), Guzhu (顾渚). He successfully achieved the rank of Jinshi (presented scholar) in 1580 (the 8th year of Ming Wanli).〔(辽海出版社1997年, 引言第1页 )''钦定大清会典事例''卷三四一.〕 He was matriculated as a local governmental official in Jingzhou, and was later promoted as an officer in Guozijian (国子监) of Nanjing.〔[潘相''琉球入学见闻录'' 王士禎''琉球入太學始末''〕 He knew the Confucian Five Classics well and was a person uninhibited in speech and behavior. Zang disdained the feudal ethical code and was dissatisfied with affairs of the state. As often pointed out the political problems in the society in the way of poetry at the moment, he was impeached by the imperial court and dismissed from office in 1585 (the 13th year of Wanli). After returning to his hometown, Zang entertained himself with poetry and remained an intimate association with many men of letters. He collected the missing yuanqu and poems. He also published a lot of books,〔[http://www.zhsc.net/Item.aspx?id=4716 ''古诗选'', ''唐诗选'玉茗堂传奇'', ''仙游录'', ''梦游录'', ''侠游录'' ]〕 including ''Selections of Yuanqu'', ''Selections of poems'' which granted him lasting fame for posterity. == Personal life == Zang Maoxun was an intelligent child since very young. He could make couplets.〔(''. )〕 with the adults when he was five years old. A precocious child, he was once taken by his father to visit a friend called Xian Jingzhao, Xian wanted to test the child’s talent, so he suddenly said a first line of a Jinshi. He held a government position in Jingzhou in the following year. In 1582 Wanli 10 (万历十年), Zang served as a magistrate in Yiling, which is located in modern day Yichang County of Hubei province. Later, when he was an officer in Guozijian (国子监) of Nanjing, he maintained a friendly relationship with Tang Xianzu (汤显祖) and Wang Shizhen (王世贞). During this period, Zang always went to suburbs for amusement with his concubines and children,〔钱谦益''列朝诗传小集''丁集上载 沈德符''万历野获编''卷二六〕 with which many officers of the imperial court were discontented. In 1585 Wanli 13 (万历十三年), at the age of 36, Zang Maoxun decided to dismiss from office and return to his hometown Changxing countyxing District|Wuxing]]. After 50 years old, Zang presented an active state in the field of publishing. He published a great number of literature books, including ''Selected Plays from the Yuan Dynasty'' (元曲选), ''Selections of poems'' ''Four dreams of Yumingtang'' (''玉茗堂四梦''), ''Liubosuijin'' (六博碎金) and so on. When Zang was 57 years old, he organized a poetry group of Jinling 金陵社集 with over 10 friends. For this reason, he obtained a little fame in the field of poetry of that time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zang Maoxun」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
