A New Introduction to Classical Chinese introduces the reader to
the Classical Chinese of the ancient world through the presentation
of text passages with grammatical commentary. Beginning with
Mencius, the work which purports to contain the teachings of the
first great disciple of Confucius, and passages from other writers
of the fourth and third centuries BC, the author progresses to
selections from the great Han Dynasty historian Ssu-ma Ch'ien, who
became a model for future generations of Chinese writers. This book
has become a standard work for use in universities as well as for
private study. The introductory material employs the Wade-Giles
system of romanization, which has been used for the great majority
of academic works, but the bulk of the book also offers the reader
the alternative of employing the now standard Pinyin romanization.
This is a redesigned re-issue of A New Introduction to Classical
Chinese which in 1985 replaced the author's An Introduction to
Classical Chinese first published in 1968. The notes were entirely
revised and the amount of text nearly doubled. The book goes beyond
the fourth century to include material from the great Han Dynasty
historian Ssu-ma Ch'ien, who perfected a narrative style that
became a model for future generations of Chinese writers.
