Biography
He was against the restorative trend of the "Former and Latter Seven Masters" (zh-Hans), and disagreed with the poetry theories of Weng Fanggang and Shen Deqian. He claimed to absorb both the styles of Tang and Song. But his comprehension of "Xingling" (zh-Hans) was different from that of Yuan Mei. Today we know about 2500 of his poems. Jiang also wrote Ci and proses. He was also an important playwright, leaving us 16 plays.
