"Ways with Words" presents interpretive essays by scholars from
different disciplines on seven core, premodern classical Chinese
texts. The remarkable diversity of these works--drawn from
literature, philosophy, religion, and art history--challenges the
presumption of a monolithic Chinese tradition that has been
promoted by scholars and popular culture alike, both in China and
the West.
The texts themselves include a poem from the "Classic of Poetry"
compiled in the sixth century b.c.e.; passages from "Mencius" and
"Zhuangzi"; the "Heart Sutra"; a poem by Du Fu and the "Biography
of Yingying" by Yuan Zhen, both written during the Tang dynasty;
and "Notes on the Method for the Brush," a tenth-century text
attributed to Jing Hao. Both the original Chinese versions and the
translations are provided for each primary text. There are at least
two essays--when possible from scholars in different fields--on
each work. The volume as a whole demonstrates the various ways in
which the modern Western reader can confront the impressive variety
of texts from the classical Chinese tradition.
