In context of “imitation poetry,” the popular genre of the Six Dynasties era, Jiang’s work can be seen as the culmination of central trends in Six Dynasties poetry. His own life experiences are encoded in his poetry through an array of literary impersonations, reframed in traditional literary forms that imbue them with renewed significance. A close reading of Jiang Yan’s poetry demonstrates the need to apply models of interpretation to Chinese poetry that do justice to the multiplicity of authorial self-representation.Sinica Leidensia118.Chinese poetry221 B.C.-960 A.DHistory and criticismPoeticsEarly works to 1800Chinese poetryfastPoeticsfastCriticism, interpretation, etc.fastEarly works.fastChinese poetryHistory and criticism.PoeticsChinese poetry.Poetics.895.18/209Williams Nicholas Morrow1656215NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910814977003321Imitations of the Self4008955UNINA
