Kong Shangren

Kong Shangren (; 1648 – 1718) was a Qing dynasty dramatist and poet best known for his "chuanqi" play "The Peach Blossom Fan" about the last days of the Ming dynasty.
Born in Qufu, Kong was a 64th-generation descendant of Confucius. He guided the Kangxi Emperor when he visited Qufu.
"The Peach Blossom Fan" tells the story of the love story between the scholar Hou Fangyu and the courtesan Li Xiangjun, against the dramatic backdrop of the short history of the Southern Ming. It remains a favourite of the Kun opera (kunqu) stage.
Kong Shangren is known as the author of a curious poem dedicated to the eyeglasses, a Western innovation brought to Macau by the Portuguese.
