This book, first published in 1967, gives us a rich sampling of
ch’ü, the characteristic poem of the time of Yüan, when China
was under Mongol rule. The ch’ü was a popular form of poetry in
the sense that although it was written by literati, they wrote in
the vernacular rather than in Classical Chinese. Each poem was
written to be sung to an already popular tune. In addition to the
‘final translations’, the steps by which the translators
proceeded from a literal, character-by-character translation
through several intermediate stages to the final version are
revealed in detail.
