I have researched on Deng Zhimo, one of the eminent literati in late Ming dynasty, 17 century and his works. He was acquainted with Tang Xianzu, the most famous play writer in his days. Deng Zhimo wrote some characteristic works that described the dispute between two counterpart beings, for example Huaniaozhengqi (dispute between flowers and birds), Fengyuezhengqi (dispute between wind and moon), Shuguozhengqi (dispute between vegetables and fruits) etc. These works are deeply connected with his another works about encyclopaedias. I have inspected the relationship between these two categories of his works.
