Description
Introduction to Classical Chinese provides a comprehensive introduction to this ancient language and its texts. Written over 2,000 years ago, it was the foundation of Chinese education throughout the Imperial age and continues to influence literature today. This textbook offers students all the necessary tools to read, understand, and analyse Classical Chinese texts, including step-by-step descriptions of syntactic features, core vocabulary lists, introductions to relevant historical and cultural topics, and selected readings from classical literature with original commentaries. The book also includes a guide to philological methods used in the critical analysis of Classical Chinese texts. The extensive glossary provides phonological reconstructions, word classes, English translations, and citations to illustrate usage, while the up-to-date bibliography serves as a valuable starting point for further research.
