Zang Maoxun
Zang Maoxun (Chinese: 臧懋循; pinyin: Zāng Màoxún; 1550–1620) was a Ming dynasty Chinese playwright and drama theorist from Changxing, Zhejiang province. His courtesy name was Jinshu (晋叔) and he may also be known by the pseudonym (hao), Guzhu (顾渚). He successfully achieved the rank of Jinshi (presented scholar) in 1580 (the 8th year of Ming Wanli). He was matriculated as a local governmental official in Jingzhou, and was later promoted as an officer in Guozijian (国子监) of Nanjing. He knew the Confucian Five Classics well and was a person uninhibited in speech and behavior. Zang disdained the feudal ethical code and was dissatisfied with affairs of the state. As often pointed out the political problems in the society in the way of poetry at the moment, he was impeached by the imperial court and dismissed from office in 1585 (the 13th year of Wanli). After returning to his hometown, Zang entertained himself with poetry and remained an intimate association with many men of letters. He collected the missing yuanqu and poems. He also published a lot of books, including Selections of Yuanqu, Selections of poems which granted him lasting fame for posterity.

Sing You Home
by: XeniaYou got a feeling
It's gonna turn you around
You can't believe it
But you can't run from the sound
Of your melodies growin' inside of you
The harmony's chasin ' you down
So just surrender
'Cause it's a part of you now
See it written on the walls all around you
Somethin' hidden, Every song is a steppin' stone
Kinda like the way it feels when you let the stars
Sing you home
Home
Sing you home
Stop, shh, listen 'cause the stars tryin' to sing you home
You wanna fake it
But you can't do it alone
So will you face it?
Can you take the loan?
'Cause the melody growin' inside of you
Wants a harmony all of it's own
You think I'm fakin'
I'm tryin' to throw you a bone
See it written on the walls all around you
Something hidden, Every song is a steppin' stone
Kinda like the way it feels when you let the stars
Sing you home

Sing you home
Stop, shh listen 'cause the stars tryin' to sing
It's falling to pieces
And the bridge is a lie
You're looking for reasons
Open your eyes
See it written on the walls all around you
Somethin' hidden, Every song is a steppin' stone
Kinda like the way it feels when you let the stars
Sing you home
See it written on the walls all around you
Somethin' hidden, Every song is a steppin' stone
Kinda like the way it feels when you let the stars
Sing you home
