Song Lian initiated the literature of Ming while Leng Qian pioneered the musicology correspondingly. Song Lian and his followers' esteem for Leng Qian directly represented the retro thoughts of contemporary scholarofficials and their musicology ideas to reform the world with ancient music. In terms of literature they canonized the harmony of music and poetry exemplified in The Book of Songs and Song Lian further denied the validity of poetry afterwards. Eventually the Hongwu ruling period 1368-1398 saw a restoration of order with northern music which was a legacy of the Jin and Yuan dynasties. And then Song Lian was sentenced to death by the emperor and Leng Qian became secluded leaving his prosody to fade out. The retro thoughts trend on music revived after the Zhengde 1491-1521 and Jiajing 1507-1566 periods with recurrent debates on the Da Sheng prosody and Leng Qian prosody. The phenomenon actually was a re-examination of the popularizing process and changes related to music after the fall of the Northern Song dynasty 960-1127 even after Emperor Xuanzong in the Tang dynasty 618-907 who had promoted greatly the imperial music academy. Meanwhile it was also the restructuring of Northern and Southern music after the Song dynasty corresponding with the retro thoughts in literature in the North and South at the time.
