Abstract: Zhang Jing was a prominent figure among the reclusive literati families who migrated to the region of Wu during the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties,exerting considerable influence in the literary circles of his time. His social network encompassed nearly all the key figures in the literary world of the Wu region. During the regime of Zhang Shicheng,Zhang Jing once held various official positions. His two promotions—first as Vice Prefect of Jiading and later as Prefectural Judge of Songjiang—prompted collective creation of farewell poems for him by most of the reclusive literati in the region of Wu,resulting in two distinctive poetry scrolls. The Farewell Scroll for Zhang,Magistrate of Wu County,Assuming Office in Jiading employed the praise of Wu's scenic landmarks as its primary mode of expression,while The Farewell Scroll for Prefectural Judge Zhang directly conveyed the emotions and thoughts of those bidding him farewell.The uniqueness of these two scrolls is reflected in two key aspects:Firstly,the Wu literati's open-minded attitude toward the dichotomy between official service and reclusion,which fostered a fluid mode of interaction between scholars in and out of public office. Secondly,the literary approach of expressing personal life reflections through the poetic celebration of famous locales. These characteristics not only encapsulated the distinctive ethos of the literary world in the region of Wu during the Yuan-Ming transition but also contributed to the enduring cultural traditions of the Wu region.

Key words: Zhang Jing, the collection of farewell poems, the interaction among hermit officials, object-chanting writing
