Focusing on works by poets from the entire range of early medieval China (220-589), Yue Zhang explores how history was disseminated and interpreted through poetry, as well as how and why certain historical figures were commemorated in poetry. In writing poems on history, poets retrospectively crafted their own identities through their celebration of historical figures, and they prospectively fortified a continuous lineage for transmitting their values and reputation to future generations. This continuous tradition of cultural memory informs a poet's reception of historical figures, which in turn shapes that tradition through further intertextual connections. Lore and Verse questions the sweeping generalization of early medieval Chinese poetry as consisting mainly of exuberant images and an ornamental style--an inaccurate characterization repeated by later historians and literary critics--and it provides translations, close readings, and analyses of selected poems on history that will be useful for students, instructors, and general readers interested in premodern Chinese literature and culture--back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 201-213) and index. 505 0 $a What Are Poems on History in Early Medieval China? -- Retrospective Memory and Self-Idealization in Zuo Si's 'Poems on History' -- Prospective Memory and the Reception of Zuo Si's 'Yongshi' in Early Medieval China -- Tao Yuanming's Perspectives on Life as Reflected in His Poems on History -- Cultural Memory and Xie Zhan's Poem on Zhang Liang -- Approaches to History in the 'Yongshi' Section of the Wen xuan. 648 7 $a 221 B.C.-960 A.D. $2 fast 650 0 $a Chinese poetry $y 221 B.C.-960 A.D. $x History and critcism. 650 0 $a History in literature. 650 0 $a Literature and history $z China. 650 7 $a History in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958338 650 7 $a Literature and history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000077 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 776 08 $i Online version: $a Zhang, Yue. $t Lore and verse $d Albany : State University of New York Press, 2022 $z 9781438486932 $w (DLC) 2021040866 830 0 $a SUNY series in Chinese philosophy and culture. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031034.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5C3459E6DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
