Classical Chinese is the most comprehensive and authoritative
textbook on the language, literature, philosophy, history, and
religion of premodern China. Rigorously and extensively
field-tested and fine-tuned for years in classroom settings, it
sets a new standard for the field. Originally published in three
volumes, Classical Chinese appears here in one convenient and
easy-to-use volume. Classical Chinese contains forty selections
from texts written between the fifth century BC and the first
century AD, during which the classical Chinese language was fully
developed and standardized. These passages, which express key
themes in Chinese humor, wit, wisdom, moral conviction, and
political ideals, are arranged in the order of complexity of the
grammatical patterns they exemplify. Uniquely, each text is
translated into both modern Chinese and English. A detailed
glossary defines unfamiliar terms and names found in the first part
of the textbook, and the last section features in-depth grammatical
analyses, in which every sentence in the main selections is fully
diagrammed to show the grammatical relations between their various
parts. Corresponding exercises review and reinforce the materials.
Four supplementary volumes--an introduction to grammar, readings in
poetry and prose, selected historical texts, and selected
philosophical texts--are separately available for use in
conjunction with this basic reader. Classical Chinese provides a
definitive resource for students and instructors of classical
Chinese language and culture.
