Tang Xianzu

Tang Xianzu passed the metropolitan examination in 1583 at thirty-three and served at court, in Nanjing and as magistrate of Suichang in Zhejiang. In 1598 he gave up his office and went home to build a retreat called Yumintang in Linchuan, and gave the rest of his life to drama and literature. His four plays, the Purple Hairpin, the Peony Pavilion, The Story of Nanke and The Story of Handan, are all bound up with dreams, and together they are called the Four Dreams of Linchuan.
