Description

Twenty-six pieces of popular Chinese literature from the fifth to the tenth centuries have been brought to light in a sealed cave in western China. Until now, only a few of these fragments had been translated into English.

Arthur Waley's translation of these manuscripts makes an invaluable contribution to world literature, offering a unique glimpse into the culture and society of ancient China.
