His book focuses on the literary theories of Yan Hung-tao (1568-1610)--the leader of the Kung-an School--and his two brothers. Its core is a detailed study of the poetry and prose of Yan Hung-tao, comparing his theories with his writings and analyzing systematically the merits and flaws of his work. The volume concludes with a discussion of the legacy of the Kung-an School, treating the School not only as the major force behind the expressive trend in the late Ming period, but also as one of the precursors of the modern Chinese literary movement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51942351667488,"sku":"NEW0521027659","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/yan-hung-tao-and-the-kung-an-school-cambridge-studies-in-chinese-history-literature-and-institutions-0521027659","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
