Anthology of Chinese Literature: Volume I: From Early Times to the Fourteenth Century Paperback - 1994
by Cyril Birch (Editor)
First line
As Japanese literature begins with the Man'yoshu, so does Chinese literature, a millennium earlier, begin with a great collection of songs, hymns and ballads: the Book of Songs (Shih ching) was compiled at some time after 600 B.C., traditionally by Confucius himself.
From the rear cover
Internationally renowned Chinese literature scholar Cyril Birch was the first to assemble the finest translations of these seminal pieces in his now classic and still definitive anthologies. The selections in this first volume span a two-thousand-year period: from the Chou Dynasty (1122-221 B.C.) to the Yuan Dynasty (A.D. 1280-1367), from the ancient Songs to the dramas of the fourteenth century, every major genre of Chinese literature is represented by a crucial work.
