Sound and Sight: Poetry and Courtier Culture in the Yongming Era (483-493) by Me

Description: Sound and Sight by Meow Goh Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description As the first book-length study of the Yongming poets, this book focuses on unraveling the complexity and hybridity of the poetic voices beneath their seemingly "technical" pursuit of prosodic innovation. Publisher Description This is the first book to examine Chinese poetry and courtier culture using the concept of shengse-sound and sight-which connotes "sensual pleasure." Under the moral and political imperative to avoid or even eliminate representations of sense perception, premodern Chinese commentators treated overt displays of artistry with great suspicion, and their influence is still alive in modern and contemporary constructions of literary and cultural history. The Yongming poets, who openly extolled "sound and rhymes," have been deemed the main instigators of a poetic trend toward the sensual. Situating them within the court milieu of their day, Meow Hui Goh asks a simple question: What did shengse mean to the Yongming poets? By unraveling the aural and visual experiences encapsulated in their poems, she argues that their pursuit of "sound and sight" reveals a complex confluence of Buddhist influence, Confucian value, and new sociopolitical conditions. Her study challenges the old perception of the Yongming poets and the common practice of reading classical Chinese poems for semantic meaning only. Author Biography Meow Hui Goh, Assistant Professor at the Ohio State University, specializes in medieval Chinese poetry, poetics, and literary culture.
