This supplemental volume continues the rigorous standard set forth in
the main, three-volume Classical Chinese: A Basic Reader while
reinforcing its linguistic lessons from carefully chosen
representative works. Comprised of three parts--"Poetry," "Lyrics,"
and "Prose"--it presents texts, chronologically, that represent the
artistic embodiment of China's Confucian and Taoist thought. Two
introductions separately describe the structural and formal features
of regulated verse and parallel prose; each genre is unique to Chinese
literature yet both share common characteristics tempered by the
Chinese language. The main text and its four supplementary volumes
together represent the most comprehensive and authoritative textbook
on the language, literature, philosophy, history, and religion of
premodern China. Field-tested and fine-tuned for years in classroom
settings by three members of the Chinese Linguistics Project at
Princeton University, it is the definitive new resource for students
and instructors of classical Chinese language or culture.
