In the 2nd year of Ming Hongwu, Gao Qi was called on as editor of Yuan Shi, The History of Yuan. Soon afterward, he was promoted to the post of deputy finance minister; but he declined, on pretext that he has no ability to manage fiance. He retired to Blue Hill of Puli Town and taugh students for living. Emperor Hongwu deemed him not cooperative; in 1374 he was accused of involvement in a "rebellion conspiracy" and was executed, he was only 39 years old.
His style of poetry was a radical departure from the extravagance of Yuan dynasty poetry, and led the way for three hundred years of Ming dynasty poetry. Farm House Gao Qi ( Ming Dynasty ) I heard Sound of spinning wheel Mingled with sound of flowing water Sight of wooden bridge, flowerless trees in hazy spring Where from the aroma the breeze brought so close ? Ah, next neighor is baking afternoon tea !
