He is especially famous for his poems lamenting the death and disorder that accompanied the decline, fall, and aftermath of the Jin dynasty, when the Mongols took over North China. Reading Yuan's poems, one feels his intense pain at the demise of the dynasty and his deeply felt need to preserve the historical and cultural record of civilization as he knew it. The poems are distinguished by breadth of learning, linguistic creativity, and allusive depth. They also reveal an abiding sense of irony, and occasional self-directed wry humor. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJohn Timothy Wixted's treatment of 150 of Yuan Haowen's poems distills available scholarship on the poet in Chinese, Japanese, and Western languages. The poems--lucidly introduced, interpreted, and explicated--are presented in romanization and translation as well as in the original.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Timothy Wixted is Emeritus Professor of Chinese and Japanese Languages and Literatures at Arizona State University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 540\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 01, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42403215769735,"sku":"9789882373273","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/cfcfa03bb6f785dfe46058a2962df24d.webp?v=1741421056","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-poetry-of-yuan-haowen-introduced-interpreted-explicated-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
