Classical Chinese for Everyone: A Guide for Absolute Beginners
By Bryan W. Van Norden. 2019
In just thirteen brief, accessible chapters, this engaging little book takes "absolute beginners" from the most basic questions about the…
language (e.g., what does a classical Chinese character look like?) to reading and understanding selections from classical Chinese philosophical texts and Tang dynasty poetry. "An outstanding introduction to reading classical Chinese. Van Norden does a wonderful job of clearly explaining the basics of classical Chinese, and he carefully takes the reader through beautifully chosen examples from the textual tradition. An invaluable work." —Michael Puett, Harvard UniversityPentasyllabic poetry has been a focus of critical study since the appearance of the earliest works of Chinese literary criticism…
in the Six Dynasties period. Throughout the subsequent dynasties, traditional Chinese critics continued to examine pentasyllabic poetry as a leading poetic type and to compile various comprehensive anthologies of it. The Matrix of Lyric Transformation enriches this tradition, using modern analytical methods to explore issues of self-expression and to trace the early formal, thematic, and generic developments of this poetic form. Beginning with a discussion of the Yüeh-fu and ku-shih genres of the Han period, Cai Zong-qi introdues the analytical framework of modes from Western literary criticism to show how the pentasyllabic poetry changed over time. He argues that changing practices of poetic composition effected a shift from a dramatic mode typical of folk compositions to a narrative mode and finally to lyric and symbolic modes developed in literati circles.Two Twelfth-Century Texts on Chinese Painting (Michigan Monographs In Chinese Studies #8)
By Robert J. Maeda. 1970
Two Twelfth-Century Texts on Chinese Painting presents two texts in translation that provide dual insight into the Painting Academy of…
Emperor Hui-tsung and the literati school of painting. The Shan-shui ch’un-ch’uan chi is a treatise for beginning landscape painters dated to the Hsüan-ho era. The treatise was written by Han Cho, a reputed member of the Academy, but the text was not specifically directed at Academicians. The treatise collects and orders previous writings on landscape painting; one of Han Cho’s main goals is to list all landscape definitions and their practical application in painting. Yet his view is more detached and analytical than a stereotypical Academy painter, revealing an approach reminiscent of Confucian scholarship and literati painting as well. The Hua-chi by Teng Ch’un is a history of painting that was written as a sequel to two earlier painting histories. In ten chapters, Teng Ch’un compiles facts and critical evaluations of painters from 1075 to 1167, as well as listings of selected masterpieces. Teng Ch’un provides more specific information about the Academy than Han Cho, discussing its organization and examination system, and noting that “form-likeness” and adherence to rules were leading standards for painting in the Academy. On the other hand, he thinks that painting should transmit “soul,” not just “form.” Thus, Teng Ch’un writes the history of both the establishment values of the Academy and the intellectual tendencies of the literati.The interplay between the external world (ching) and the poet’s inner world (ch’ing) lies at the heart of Chinese poetry,…
and understanding the interaction of the two is crucial to understanding this work from within its own tradition. Closely coordinating her discussions of poetry and criticism so that practice and theory become mutually enriching and illuminating, Sun offers sensitive and original readings of poems and a wealth of insights into Chinese poetics.Classifying the Zhuangzi Chapters (Michigan Monographs In Chinese Studies #65)
By Xiaogan Liu. 1994
The relationships, both historical and philosophical, among the Zhuangzi’s Inner, Outer, and Miscellaneous chapters are the subject of ancient and…
enduring controversy. Liu marshals linguistic, intertextual, intratextual, and historical evidence to establish an objectively demonstrable chronology and determine the philosophical affiliations among the various chapters. This major advance in Zhuangzi scholarship furnishes indispensable data for all students of the great Daoist text. In a lengthy afterword, Liu compares his conclusions with those of A. C. Graham and addresses the relationship between the Zhuangzi and the Laozi.For many years, the oral performing and dramatic literatures of China from 1200 to 1600 CE were considered some of…
the most difficult texts in the Chinese corpus. They included ballad medleys, comic farces, Yuan music dramas, Ming music dramas, and the novel Shuihu zhuan. The Japanese scholars who first dedicated themselves to study these works in the mid-twentieth century were considered daring. As late as 1981, no comprehensive dictionary or glossary for this literature existed in any language, Asian or Western. A Glossary of Words and Phrases fills this gap for Western readers, allowing even a relative novice who has resonable command of Chinese to read, translate, and appreciate this great body of literature with an ease undreamed of even two decades ago. The Glossary is organized into approximately 8,000 entries based on the reading notes and glosses found in various dictionaries, thesauruses, glossaries, and editions of works from the period. Main entries are listed alphabetically in the pinyin romanization system. In addition to glosses, entries include symbolic annotations, guides to pronunciation, and text citations. The result is a broadly useful glossary serving the needs of students of this literature as well as scholars researching Jin and Yuan language and its usage.Vampirul Samurai

căsătorit, părinții mei au vrut să aibă copii imediat. Tata își dorea un băiat, să-l învețe cum să devină samurai și să lupte alături de el. Destinul a intervenit însă și s-a născut o fetiță. Mama mi-a dat numele ´Aiko´. Cu câteva zile înainte să împlinesc unsprezece ani, tata m-a întrebat ce-mi doream de ziua mea. Fără ezitare i-am răspuns că-mi doream o sabie. Mi-am câștigat statutul de samurai la vârsta de optsprezece ani. Din păcate, ceva teribil mi s-a întâmplat mie și verișoarei mele Kiku când îmi petreceam vacanța în România. Mongolii și turcii au invadat Japonia și eu voi lupta cu ei până la moarte.

îşi construiesc cuiburile. Cerul este limpede în dimineaţa asta, după o noapte de ploaie torenţială. Mă numesc Emma, sunt o fată orfană şi am şaisprezece ani. Eu am grijă de patru fraţi. Părinţii noştri au murit în timp ce încercau să ne apere de un balaur şi au fost ucişi pe loc de focul mistuitor al monstrului. Noaptea trecută nu am avut noroc la vânătoare pentru că din cauza ploii nu am putut vedea nimic. Arcul şi săgeţile mele par să se usuce mai repede decât mine. M-am hotărât să mă duc în sat. Sper ca, cuiva să i se facă milă de mine şi să îmi dea ceva de mâncat. Când am intrat în sat am văzut un grup mare de oameni adunaţi lângă o tabelă ţinută de un cavaler al regelui. Uniforma sa scumpă îl dădea de gol. M-am îngrămădit printre oameni şi am citit ce scria pe tabelă. "_ Prinţesa Victoria a fost răpită de vrăjitoarea Amira. Regele oferă o sută de monede din aur drept recompensă pentru cel care o salvează." Recompensa era suficientă pentru ca să pot asigura hrana fraţilor mei pentru mult timp de acum încolo. Oare va interveni fratele adolescent al Prinţesei Victoria, Prinţul Edward, în căutarea mea? Sau destinul nostru este de a ne îndrăgosti unul de celălalt în timp ce o salvăm pe surioara sa?Introduction to Contemporary Art in China (China Perspectives)
