Sangluan is a genre of Classical Chinese poetry particularly associated with the era of the Yuan dynasty, from 1271 to 1368, written in response to the tumultuous events surrounding the Mongol conquest of China under Kublai Khan. The genre focuses on the devastation of war and the death and destruction that came with it. The scholar J. I. Crump has written that sangluan verse, or poetry of death and destruction, is in many ways a more accurate measure of the emotional toll the Chinese suffered under the Mongols than any amount of historical documentation.
