hardcover. Condición: Very Good. 1991 State University of New York Press (Albany, New York), 6 1/4 x 9 1/4 inches tall hardcover, no dust jacket (as issued), xii, 314 pp. Very slight rubbing and edgewear to covers, with sun fading to spine. Slight bumping to the upper tip of the rear cover. Otherwise, a near fine copy - clean, bright and unmarked. ~U~ [2.0P] China has a long tradition of their intellectuals writing commentaries on the classics, and the Tao Te Ching attributed to Lao Tzu has perhaps attracted more such commentaries than any other classic. The commentaries of Wang Pi and Ho-shang Kung are two of the oldest surviving ones, and two of the most influential in Chinese culture. In simplistic terms, Wang Pi is the more philosophical one - and thus more appealing to Western philosophers - while the one attributed to Ho-shang Kung is the more religious one, having influenced the development of the Taoist religion. After recounting what we know of both authors, one historical one legendary, Chan explains the ideas presented in each commentary. How Wang Pi bases his reading of the Tao Te Ching on the notion of wu (or 'non-being') and li (or 'principle,' 'pattern'), explicating the ideas Wang Pi found in the work; how the Ho-shang Kung commentary draws on the older Huang-lao philosophical school to present an interpretation based on external contexts, such as the history of the text and how it applies to specific passages. Yet both share an interest in explicating the political meaning of the Tao Te Ching, and how the Sage can best advise the ruler in governing the realm. In short, this book presents a Chinese reading of this text, a useful corrective for Western readers who often come to the Tao Te Ching from experience with New Age religions or political theories such as Libertarianism or Anarchism. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Explores the new literary and interpretive milieu that emerged in the years following the decline of China's Han dynasty.Covering a time of great intellectual ferment and great influence on what was to come, this book explores the literary and hermeneutic world of early medieval China. In addition to profound political changes, the fall of the Han dynasty allowed new currents in aesthetics, literature, interpretation, ethics, and religion to emerge during the Wei-Jin Nanbeichao period. The contributors to this volume present developments in literature and interpretation during this era from a variety of methodological perspectives, frequently highlighting issues hitherto unremarked in Western or even Chinese and Japanese scholarship. These include the rise of new literary and artistic values as the Han declined, changing patterns of patronage that helped reshape literary tastes and genres, and new developments in literary criticism. The religious changes of the period are revealed in the literary self-presentation of spiritual seekers, the influence of Daoism on motifs in poetry, and Buddhist influences on both poetry and historiography. Traditional Chinese literary figures, such as the fox and the ghost, receive fresh analysis about their particular representation during this period.…
