Review
‘A path-breaking book. Yang brings in not just multiple editions of and comparisons amongst the relevant texts, but also paintings, musical analysis, and historical works showing who was involved in which events. One actually gets a sense of who the major players were—the author succeeds in telling a story rather than just presenting a cut-and-dried technical analysis. The author’s discovery of a major new source is extremely significant.’ —Helen Rees, UCLA
Description
Plum Blossom on the Far Side of the Stream’s accomplishment is to draw on work from many sub-disciplines—early Chinese song forms and their notation, the literary and political movements of early modern China, codicology, and iconography—and to make fresh contributions to these areas as well. This book reflects a unique breadth of scholarship: in addition to lucid argument regarding the reception of Jiang’s work, important facsimiles of three major manuscripts, five colour plates, and an audio CD are also included.
