Yongming poetry refers to a poetry style of the Chinese Southern Qi dynasty in the 5th century AD. Yongming (Chinese: 永明; pinyin: Yǒngmíng; Wade–Giles: Yung-ming; lit. 'Forever Bright') was an era name of the Emperor Wu of Southern Qi. The Yongming period was from 483 to 493.[1] However brief this era, it is now associated with a major movement within Classical Chinese poetry.
