These further translations of ch'ü arias include some of the most vivid and imaginative poems in the long and magnificent Chinese poetic tradition. Humour, jazzy slang, superb elegance, a fusion of apparent boundless freedom and prosaic intricacy, effervescent originality and spontaneity, and many other startling and appealing qualities, present a whole range of rarely seen topics and aspects of Chinese life and literature. Here are emperors and empresses, fishers and harlots, the cosmopolitan and the rustic, the city and the scenic, high ideals and merry mischief galore.
