Wu Wenying is a ci poet whose status in the history of Chinese literature is most Controversial and has undergone many ups and downs for over 700 years. His ci poetry won great attention in the last years of the Southern Song Dynasty but was seldom read in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. From the mid years of the Qing Dynasty to the several decades after it, Wu's poetry again became popular, but it was again severely criticized and thus sank back into oblivion in the 30 years after the founding of PRC. Since 1980's, however, Wu's status and influence have again come to be recognized and evaluated favorably by critics.
