Expanded Course Description
The first course in the three-term History of Chinese Literature sequence focuses on the formative period of Chinese civilization. The course begins with an examination of the origin, rise, and nature of the Chinese writing system. Early texts explored and discussed include the poetry collection entitled Book of Songs, the Confucian Analects, the Daoist masterpieces Daode jing and Zhuangzi, and the great historical narrative Records of the Grand Historian. Issues discussed in class include the debate in early China about the nature and use of the past, the relationship between state power and the literary text, the sense of frustration that permeates so much early Chinese literature, and the controversy between those eager to play an active political role and those who argue that withdrawal from the political world is the only path to personal contentment.
