YUAN KAI (YUAN K'AI) (1310-?) Yuan Kai was born and lived in the city of Songjiang, near what is today's city of Shanghai. When he was summoned to serve in the Ming government, he pretended to be insane, and so avoided having to serve. He was one of the most important followers of the poetic principles and style of Yang Weizhen (1296-1370), which imitated Tang poetry and the Music Bureau poetry of the Han and Wei dynasties. ___________________ In the Capitol, Upon
