Synopsis
This is the first book to examine Chinese poetry and courtier culture using the concept of shengse--sound and sight--which connotes "sensual pleasure." Under the moral and political imperative to avoid or even eliminate representations of sense perception, premodern Chinese commentators treated overt displays of artistry with great suspicion, and their influence is still alive in modern and contemporary constructions of literary and cultural history.
The Yongming poets, who openly extolled "sound and rhymes," have been deemed the main instigators of a poetic trend toward the sensual. Situating them within the court milieu of their day, Meow Hui Goh asks a simple question: What did shengse mean to the Yongming poets? By unraveling the aural and visual experiences encapsulated in their poems, she argues that their pursuit of "sound and sight" reveals a complex confluence of Buddhist influence, Confucian value, and new sociopolitical conditions. Her study challenges the old perception of the Yongming poets and the common practice of reading classical Chinese poems for semantic meaning only.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition (NAP). This is an easy book to describe. I've rated both the book and jacket Near Fine. As you can see from the photos, the black covers are perfectly clean. There doesn't appear to be any wear. The corners and edges look great. The light blue lettering on the spine against the black of the covers is kind of beautiful, not quite sure how they achieved that effect, not sure whether it will be picked up in the scanned photo. The page edges are perfectly clean. The book is square and very solidly bound from cover to cover. The white inside covers and end papers are perfectly clean and show no wear at all. That appears to be an appropriate description of all the pages in the book, perfectly clean and free of wear. I'm not seeing any soiling. I'm not seeing any creasing or dogeared corners. There are no markings. There are no attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. I've had the jacket in a fitted protective cover for as long as I've owned the book. The protective cover, not the dust jacket, had a little scratch on it which was okay with me but I'll put a new one on for you. I'm looking now at the jacket and it truly is in Fine condition. That means there is no soiling, there are no tears, there are no creases, and what is rarely the case no wear at the top and bottom edges of the spine. Maybe I should raise the price. Just kidding. The flaps are also in perfect condition. The jacket is, after I've said all that, of course NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. To repeat, I'll fit the jacket into a new protective cover after the photos are scanned.
