{"product_id":"historical-chinese-letter-writing-daniel-z-kadar-9781441180360","title":"Historical Chinese Letter Writing","description":"Letter writing is a pivotal yet neglected medium of historical Chinese communication. The epistolary format is key to sinological research. As historical letters have a specific vocabulary and rhetorical structure it is difficult to read them without the supporting apparatus of specialised study.\u003cbr\u003e The aim of this compendium is to fill the gap in Chinese studies by providing a bilingual Chinese-English edition of a corpus of Chinese letters, prepared for advanced students of Classical Chinese as well as academics with an interest in historical Chinese epistolary art. The book has a broad and general introduction, systematically constructed vocabulary sections as well as detailed grammatical and philological explanations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt focuses on Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) letter writing, a high point of pre-1911 epistolary activity in Chinese, and will appeal to Chinese scholars and Sinologists at a broad range of academic levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author was awarded with the AcademyAward for Young Outstanding Scholarsby the Hungarian Academy of Sciences for this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Z.
