| Description: | REL-196-01 = ASI-196-01 = HUM-196-01 : 2nd Half Semester. "Dancing with the Moon": Religion and Image in Chinese Poetry. "In the heart, it's intention; coming forth in words, it's poetry." So says the "Preface" to the Book of Songs, the ancient classic of Chinese poetry. In this course, we will read selections (in English) from the Book of Songs, and later poets like Li Bo [Li Bai], Du Fu, and Wang Wei. We will study how Chinese poets use image and metaphor to convey their distinctive ideas about nature, religion, and human life. On occasion, we will also read Chinese poems alongside selected English-language poems, comparing their techniques and aims. 0.5 credits. For first half semester at 9:45 TTH, see REL-275. |
