A text of central importance to the Chinese literary tradition,
the Wen xuan was compiled by Xiao Tong (501-531) and is the oldest
surviving anthology of Chinese literature arranged by genre. This
volume, the first of a planned eight-volume translation of the
entire work, contains thoroughly annotated translations of the
first section of the Wen xuan, the rhapsodies on the metropolises
and capitals."
Originally published in 1983.
