Without deep influence of traditional Confucian poetry, the works of theirs, which contribute a lot to the poetic development in the later Yuan Dynasty, are special with the vigor, personality, and creativity.According to the overall development of Chinese literature, the thesis focuses mainly on the creation achievement of minority poets in western regions in the later Yuan Dynasty. Their works expose broadly and profoundly all sorts of social problems, including high taxes, heavy corvee and terrible natural disasters, especially the corruption of government officials in Yuan Dynasty. The minority poets, who behold a certain liberalism, individuality and independent spirit, express their sincere sympathy to the miserable life of people in their works. And the artistic style is an organic unity and mixture of masculine beauty in the poetry of North China and feminine beauty in South. So the fresh works of theirs are full of more cultural elements than any other poetry, which is a new matrix for the later development of Chinese literature.The minority works in western regions in the later Yuan Dynasty is an inalienable part of Chinese literature.
