From the publisher

Represented here are examples of various categories of Chinese literary composition-verses, songs, stories, essays, drama, and excerpts from novels from the Y'an and Ching Dynasties, as well as the Republican Period. Highlights include Songs from the Y'an Dynasty, The Temptation of Saint Pigsy by Wu Ch'eng-en, a selection from Peony Pavilion, early Ch'ing lyrics, and "Six Chapters" from A Floating Life by Shen Fu.

First line

"In the centuries preceding the Mongol conquest the preferred forms for Chinese verse were the metrically regular shih and the lyric (tz'u), whose lines were of irregular but prescribed length."
