The Song of the Five Phoenixes / 五鳳吟 (First Complete English Translation) (The Ming–Qing Masterworks Series) - Softcover
Book 8 of 55: The Ming?Qing Masterworks Series
Synopsis
The Song of the Five Phoenixes (五鳳吟) is a rare late-Ming to early-Qing Chinese novel attributed to Yunyangchichidaoren, now presented for the first time in a complete English translation by Valentin Sarić.
Set during the Jiajing era of the Ming dynasty, the novel opens in a world shaped by moral philosophy, righteous conduct, and the fragile balance between personal virtue and social duty. Through refined prose, poetry, and episodic storytelling, The Song of the Five Phoenixes explores themes of loyalty, integrity, friendship, and ethical responsibility amid political upheaval and personal trials.
Unlike later vernacular novels driven primarily by spectacle or fantasy, this work belongs to an earlier literary tradition where moral cultivation, scholarly ideals, and poetic expression stand at the center. Its phoenix symbolism evokes harmony, cultivated talent, and moral excellence - ideals deeply embedded in classical Chinese thought.
This edition preserves the structure and spirit of the original Chinese text while rendering it into clear, faithful English, making the work accessible to modern readers without sacrificing its historical voice.
This volume is intended for:
- Readers of classical and early modern Chinese literature

Features of this edition:
