Features: Among the many critics and scholars of Chinese classical poetry, Professor Ye Jiyang stands out with her unique insights and distinctive approach. She integrates Chinese and Western poetic theories, focusing not only on the criteria of thought and art but also on the characteristic of inspiration and emotion in classical Chinese poetry. This book weaves together the relationship between imagery and emotion in classical poetry as the warp and the appreciation of famous Song Dynasty lyric poets and their works as the weft. With extensive references and a free-ranging style, it is a quintessential work that deeply captures the essence of Chinese classical poetry.
