CHI 195-01 - Introductory Special Topic: Love and Impermanence, Feast and Reclusion: Major Themes in Classical Chinese Lyrical Tradition

Cross-listed as: EAS 195-01  and GLS 195-01 . We will read in translation and study  the formulation of a Chinese lyrical tradition  through reading a selection of famous Chinese  poems from the antiquity to medieval China. As we  appreciate the individual poems by examining the  metric, structural and stylistic features unique  to classical Chinese poetry, the historical and  cultural contexts in which these poems were  produced and consumed will also be considered. 

Prerequisite: None.
Note: Plus-2 option available.
Instructor: Tang
