What was the situation for

literature in vernacular Chinese

to develop in China from

the 13 century on?
When the Mongol (Yüan)
troops conquered northern
China and the Sung dynasties in
the south,
they constituted themselves as a

classical literature remained
important in intellectual circles,
it

private realms.
Vernacular literature (which
deals with sex, violence, satire,
and comedy) became noted for
its
capacity to creatively expand on
plots of earlier works by filling
in details or even articulating
what had been omitted.
Classical Chinese writing took a
catastrophic blow during the
Ch'ing Dynasty, particularly
during
the "literary inquisition."
