This book, first published in 1962, is a majestic survey of the
whole structure of Chinese poetry. It is a critical introduction to
the field as well as an exposition of Chinese views on the nature
of poetry. It discusses the Chinese language as a poetic medium
from various angles – visual, semantic, auditory, grammatical and
conceptual. It also describes the bases of Chinese versification
and the major verse forms, and offers interpretations of various
schools of traditional Chinese criticisms of poetry. The author
suggests a synthesis among the different schools and evolves a view
of poetry from which critical standards for Chinese poetry can be
derived. In applying these standards, he attempts a further
synthesis – one between this mainly traditional Chinese view of
poetry and the modern Western method of verbal analysis. Imagery,
symbolism, allusions and other features of Chinese poetry are
analysed critically.
