Description
Guan Hanqing (c. 1241-1320), also known under the sobriquet "the Oldman of the Studio", was a notable Chinese playwright and poet in the Yuan Dynasty. He has been described as among the most prolific and highly regarded dramatists of the Yuan period. Guan spent much of his later life in Dadu and produced about 65 plays, mostly in the vernacular of the time. The complete texts of three of his most popular extant plays are included in this volume.
