Description
A Stanford University Press classic.
Reviews
'This book offers important new insights into the understanding of classical Chinese literature. Its subject - the nature of the hermeneutical tradition in China, with a focus on the commentaries on the Book of Odes - lies at the heart of the written tradition and has been virtually unstudied in any Western language. the author's ability to relate the history of canonical scholarship to issues developed in the context of Western hermeneutics also distinguishes his work from the efforts of Chinese and Japanese scholars. The book is at once a major contribution to Chinese literary, philosophical, and intellectual history.'Pauline Yu, University of California, Irvine
