More than any other treasure, Shijing contains the historical roots
of China, from which much of modern culture grew. From a lovelorn
young man to an aging woman spurned by her wedded husband, from an
elder statesman admonishing a young sovereign, to footsoldiers
facing the unspeakable fate of sacrificial burial, the love and war
in Shijing serves as a key to unlock the myth of Ancient China. The
book presents the reader with a fascinating glimpse of Ancient
Chinese by analysing many poems in Shijing and discussing aspects
of culture and events reflected in the poems from a wide range of
disciplines, including archaeology, ethnography, history and
linguistics. Reading this book will enhance the general reader's
knowledge of Chinese culture as well as familiarity with the
language as a "bare-bone". Minimalist English translation are used
which enables readers getting closer to and gain a better sense and
flavour of the original text.
