Letter writing is a pivotal yet neglected medium of historical
Chinese communication. The epistolary format is key to sinological
research. As historical letters have a specific vocabulary and
rhetorical structure it is difficult to read them without the
supporting apparatus of specialised study. The aim of this
compendium is to fill the gap in Chinese studies by providing a
bilingual Chinese-English edition of a corpus of Chinese letters,
prepared for advanced students of Classical Chinese as well as
academics with an interest in historical Chinese epistolary art.
The book has a broad and general introduction, systematically
constructed vocabulary sections as well as detailed grammatical and
philological explanations. It focuses on Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)
letter writing, a high point of pre-1911 epistolary activity in
Chinese, and will appeal to Chinese scholars and Sinologists at a
broad range of academic levels. The author was awarded with the
AcademyAward for Young Outstanding Scholarsby the Hungarian Academy
of Sciences for this book.
