Description: INTRODUCTION TO TRADITIONAL CHINESE POETRY
*****
The most elite literary form in classical Chinese literature, traditional poetry also enjoys large readership among common folks. This seeming contradiction emerges from its terse, single-syllabic language and rich, perceptible imagery that offer easy access to highly condensed messages. This course seeks to decode enchanting features of traditional Chinese poetry through examining the transformation of poetic genres, the interaction between poetic creation and political, social, and cultural changes, and the close association of poetry with art. Thus, this course also serves to understand Chinese culture and history through poetic perspectives. All readings in English translation. No previous knowledge of Chinese literature or language required.
