Description
This volume covers the thousand years in which the shih reached its highest level of development. A lyric form that emerged earlier in the Confucian Book of Odes, it gained prominence once more during this period.
The new shih, distinguished from its predecessor by its use of a five- or seven-character line, became the best-known and most characteristic Chinese poetic form.
First published in 1971, this book provides insight into the evolution of Chinese poetry during this significant period.
