Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This anthology presents seventy translated and annotated short essays, or hsiao-p'in, by fourteen well-known sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Chinese writers. Hsiao-p'in, characterized by spontaneity and brevity, were a relatively informal variation on the established classical prose style… in which all scholars were trained. Written primarily to amuse and entertain the reader, hsiao-p'in reflect the rise of individualism in the late Ming period and collectively provide a panorama of the colorful life of the age. Critics condemned the genre as escapist because of its focus on life's sensual pleasures and triviality, and over the next two centuries many of these playful and often irreverent works were officially censored. Today, the essays provide valuable and rare accounts of the details over everyday life in Ming China as well as displays of wit and delightful turns of phrase.

Paperback. Condition: Good. First Edition. A compelling anthology, "Vignettes from the Late Ming: A Hsiao-p'in Anthology," translated and annotated by Yang Ye, offers a unique window into sixteenth- and seventeenth-century China. This volume, a First Edition, First Printing from the University of Washington Press in 1999, collec…ts seventy short essays, or *hsiao-p'in*, from fourteen renowned Chinese writers.Characterized by their spontaneity and brevity, *hsiao-p'in* represent a more informal and individualistic variation on the classical prose style in which all scholars were trained. Primarily intended for amusement and entertainment, these essays beautifully reflect the rising tide of individualism during the late Ming period, collectively painting a vivid panorama of the colorful life of the era. Though critics of the time condemned the genre as escapist, focusing on sensual pleasures and triviality, leading to many works being officially censored over the subsequent two centuries, they now stand as invaluable and rare accounts of the daily life and wit of Ming China.This scholarly yet accessible collection showcases delightful turns of phrase and offers profound insights into a vibrant historical period. The book is presented as a Paperback in Good condition.
