1760réf. 193395China: no stated publisher after 1760. The cream of Chinese poetry A mid- to late-Qing dynasty printing of this poetry collection prepared on the orders of the Qianlong emperor including works by Du Fu and Li Bai the unsurpassed masters of Chinese poetry's golden age as well as Bai Juyi Han Yu Lu You and Su Shi. Within a few hundred years of their deaths Du and Li were already considered China's greatest poets. Du's deep and emotive poems were inspired by his personal experiences and the momentous events of his day including the 755 An Lushan Rebellion. "In Chinese culture his works have been virtually canonized because as the expression of the Chinese mind and moral being in their highest form their supremacy in literature has been placed beyond merely literary considerations. In the literary matters of innovative technique and the establishment of many new subgenres Du Fu is also seen as without peer" Chou p. 1. Li Bai's poems were heavily influenced by his free and eremitic lifestyle. They often took the form of dreams or spirit-journeys exploring themes such as reclusion friendship the beauty of nature and the effects of drunkenness. "The infectious rhythm of much of his poetry makes his lines memorable and the vividness of pictures he paints in words brings to life the scenes and places he describes" Brown p. 542. Completed in 1750 the compilation was overseen by Liang Shizheng 1697-1767 the emperor's trusted cultural advisor and printed the following year. A second edition from new woodblocks was issued in Jiangsu a decade later with imperial permission and this set is likely printed from those re-cut blocks. Forty-seven parts in 25 vols octavo 275 x 175 mm. Woodblock-printed text in Chinese. Later brown wrappers xianzhuang stitching ink manuscript titles on front covers. Housed in four later blue cloth folding cases bone toggles. Old tidemarks in some vols couple of closed tears including 160 mm tear on part 15 f. 5 old residual mould staining in parts 24 37-40 and 44-45 other occasional marks a few small repaired losses; cases with staining and worming on lining: a very good set.
