Présentation de l'éditeur
The half-dozen generations from 100 B. C. to A. D. 100 were epoch-making in Chinese history, and there is a real need for "vignetting sketches of manner, character, and thought" based on documents identifiable as to date and authorship. Fortunately such documents are available in the fu (Chinese literary form) on the Two Capitals by Pan Ku and Chang Heng. Insights into Han life and beliefs are offered through the translation and paraphrase of the fu, with extensive critique and commentaryOriginally published in 1960. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These paperback editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of Han Dynasty China, offering a unique perspective on history through the lens of poetry. The author meticulously examines four "fu" poemsââ âdescriptive poetic essaysââ âby renowned scholars Pan Ku and Chang Heng, focusing on their depictions of the Western and Eastern Capitals, Chang'an and Loyang. These poems, written within decades of each other, provide invaluable insights into the political, social, and cultural landscapes of the era. By comparing and contrasting the two authors' portrayals, this book unveils the intricate tapestry of Han Dynasty society. It delves into the minds of these influential figures, exploring their thoughts on imperial power, philosophical values, and the role of Confucianism. The author meticulously analyzes the poems' rich language and imagery, drawing connections to historical events and broader intellectual currents. Through this exploration, the book sheds light on the complexities of Han Dynasty rule, questioning whether it was an autocracy or a theocracy and examining the impact of empire on the Chinese people's sense of identity. It also delves into the rise of humanitarian ethics, the importance of filial piety, and the expansion of education during this pivotal period. Ultimately, this book offers a profound understanding of Han Dynasty China and its enduring legacy. It reveals how these ancient poems provide a window into the past, illuminating the values, beliefs, and aspirations of a civilization that continues to shape the world today.
