Wu Weiye (traditional Chinese: 吳偉業; simplified Chinese: 吴伟业; pinyin: Wú Wěiyè; 1609–1671) was a Chinese poet and politician. He was a poet in Classical Chinese poetry. He lived during the difficult times of the Ming-Qing transition. Along with Gong Dingzi and Qian Qianyi, Wu Weiye was famous as one of the Three Masters of Jiangdong.[1] Wu Weiye was known for writing in the ci (song lyric) poetry form as well as writing about current events in both the regular ci and the seven-syllable long form, the gexing.[2]
