Abstract:

Part 2 of the Festschrift dedicated to William H. Nienhauser presents
a collection of twelve academic papers that delve into the realms of
poetry, fiction, and anecdotal writing from the Tang dynasty onwards.
Readers will immerse themselves in the linguistic and literary
intricacies of some of the most famous pieces of Tang era poetry,
learn to see the city of Beijing through the eyes of a Portuguese
explorer of the 16th century, dissect late pictorial depictions of
Confucius in classroom settings, and discover how a real event might
have inspired four separate Tang narratives to revolve around a female
avenger.
The book is open to both academic and popular readership. A wide range
of sinological subjects is covered, including but not limited to
linguistics, phonology, poems, novels, religions, and paintings.
