iYuanQu Downloads & RevenueiYuanQu - Yuan Qu Poetry · App Store

iYuanQu is an app built for one thing: reading and truly understanding Yuan Qu, the great songs and dramatic verse of the Yuan dynasty. Instead of another catch-all poetry collection, we go deep into a single tradition: sanqu lyrics, song suites and zaju drama arias, paired with hand-picked translations, annotations, appreciation notes, musical mode knowledge and a full, searchable library.

Start with a poem a day
Every day we surface a classic Yuan Qu piece, ready to read at a tap. Refresh anytime for a fresh one. Turn on the Daily Qu Reminder to build a gentle reading habit at a time you choose.

A complete Yuan Qu library
Nearly nine thousand works from more than two hundred poets. Browse by theme, poet, famous drama, musical mode, tune title or the full collection, and find exactly what you want.

Curated translations and appreciation
Dozens of classic pieces come with full translation, annotation and appreciation. Over eighteen hundred works include translation and notes, with clear content level badges.

Read whole dramas
One hundred sixty-two Yuan zaju plays gather their arias by title, such as The Injustice to Dou E and Romance of the Western Chamber. Every play includes a synopsis, so you can read with the story in mind.

Musical modes and tune titles
Clear entries for the modes and tune titles behind Yuan Qu, so the rhythm and structure finally make sense.
