Features: This book, On the Culture of Ba-Shu in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, is a collection of thirty-three essays that the author published in fifteen academic journals over nearly two decades while studying the literary history of the Ming and Qing dynasties and teaching An Introduction to the Literary Schools of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The essays fall within the research scope of Ba-Shu culture. This book essentially serves as the author's collected works, focusing on issues related to Ba-Shu culture in the nearly five hundred fifty years from the Ming to the Qing dynasties.
The initially published essays were all thematic, so they can stand alone and are not interrelated. When selecting this title, the author considered using five themes for classification and elaboration. The beginning and end of each chapter are not marked with any introductory or concluding statements, which is done to preserve the original form of the essays. The titles remain unchanged, and the annotations, originally appended at the end of each essay, are now converted to footnotes.
