 Of this poetic activity, especially important is the anthology "New Songs from the Jade Terrace", compiled by Xu Ling (507–83), under the patronage of Crown Prince Xiao Gang (Later known as Emperor Jianwen).The "Jade Terrace" is at least in part a reference to the luxurious palace apartments to which upper-class women were often relegated, one of the main conventional images being that of a beautiful concubine languishing away in lonely confinement, bereft of love.The "New Songs from the Jade Terrace" has been popularly translated into English.
