China

Klappentext Gathers poems about four of China's venerable cities - Chang'an (now Xi'an)! Luoyang! Beijing! and Hangzhou. To the Chinese! the city was a depiction of the Confucian ideal of social harmony. To leave the city was to exile oneself from high culture and high politics; this collection also chronicles that Taoist escape and exile: the poetry of personal loss and disappointment! the veiled political polemic and poetry extolling the natural world that lay beyond the Emperor's courts. Zusammenfassung For two thousand years in China! the empires of politics and of the written word cohabited and depended on one another. This collection gathers poems about four venerable cities - Chang'an (now Xi'an)! Luoyang! Beijing and Hangzhou.
