{"product_id":"the-poetry-of-cao-zhi-robert-joe-cutter-9781501515637","title":"The Poetry of Cao Zhi","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a translation of the complete poems and \u003ci\u003efu\u003c\/i\u003e of Cao Zhi (192-232), one of China's most famous poets. Cao Zhi lived during a tumultuous age, a time of intrepid figures and of bold and violent acts that have captured the Chinese imagination across the centuries. His father Cao Cao (155-220) became the most powerful leader in a divided empire, and on his death, Cao Zhi's elder brother Cao Pi (187-226) engineered the abdication of the last Han emperor, establishing himself as the founding emperor of the Wei Dynasty (220-265). Although Cao Zhi wanted to play an active role in government and military matters, he was not allowed to do so, and he is remembered as a writer. \u003ci\u003eThe Poetry of Cao Zhi\u003c\/i\u003e contains in its body one hundred twenty-eight pieces of poetry and \u003ci\u003efu\u003c\/i\u003e. The extant editions of Cao Zhi's writings differ in the number of pieces they contain and present many textual variants. The translations in this volume are based on a valuable edition of Cao's works by Ding Yan (1794-1875), and are supplemented by robust annotations, a brief biography of Cao Zhi, and an introduction to the poetry by the translator. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Joe Cutter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501515632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501515637\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 1.13d","brand":"Robert Joe Cutter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43978268475647,"sku":"9781501515637","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_47842e50-bb81-4261-9f75-71ea7385cb7b.jpg?v=1683240639","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-poetry-of-cao-zhi-robert-joe-cutter-9781501515637","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
