Qiao Ji (1280-1345) styled Mengfu, also known by his literary name Shenghe-weng or Xingxing Taoist Monk, Qiao was born in Taiyuan of Shanxi Province. Qiao, a good-looking person himself, was also a recognized writer, especially for his Yuefu, or literature set to music (play, Sanqu poetry). His short lyrics are mostly about landscape, his idle life, and his associations with prostitutes. The style of these poems is one of freshness. Qiao pays special attention to the diction and meter of poetry. He uses sparsely meaningless words of the sake of balance or meter, which is a convention for works of this genre. His poetry embodies a tendency of returning to the elegance of Ci poetry. Qiao, together with Zhang Kejiu, is a representative writer of Sanqu poetry at the later stage of its development.
乔吉（1280-1345）字梦符，号笙鹤翁，又号惺惺道人，山西太原人。美容仪，善辞章，尤以乐府（即杂剧、散曲）见称。散曲多啸傲山水，闲适颓放和青楼调笑之作。风格以清丽见长，注意词藻和格律的锤炼，少用衬字，表现了典雅化的倾向，与张可久同为后期散曲的重要作家。
A Song of Fisherman (2) to the tune of Courtyard Full of Flowers
满庭芳·渔夫词（二）
A few dots of sea gulls in the sky,
轻鸥数点，
Below in whistling wind is the grass cold,
寒蒲猎猎，
The autumn water seems calm and old.
秋水厌厌。
The misty scenery of the Tai lake opens to everybody's eye.
五湖烟景由人占，
Everything is in full view and bright.
有甚防嫌。
How terrible is the sea of worldly right and wrong!
是非海天惊地险，
While this home of water and clouds is calm quite.
水云乡浪静风恬。
And the village wine is so strong!
村醪酽，
Listen! The songs are heard aloud,
歌声冉冉，
Over the mountain top the white moon strolls about.
明月在山尖。
