| Course Section Number: | REL-296-01 |
| Department: | Religion |
| Description: | "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 three classical Chinese poets: Wang Wei, Li Bo [Li Bai], and Du Fu [Tu Fu]. We will study how they use image and metaphor to convey their distinctive ideas about nature, religion, and human life. As background, we'll also read some selections from the Book of Songs, and from Confucius and Buddhism. This is a second-half semester course. |
