Fu poems are highly revealing sources for understanding the culture, society, and politics of their periods, and in this volume eleven essays by prominent scholars treat the fu from four major perspectives: its original use in court recitation; as a poetic genre with distinctive formal features; as a vehicle of philosophical inquiry; and as a major mode of political expression. 410 0$aEast meets west (ARC Humanities Press) 606 $aFu$xHistory and criticism$vCongresses 606 $aChinese poetry$xHistory and criticism$vCongresses 610 $aChinese poetry. 610 $aimperial China. 610 $alate imperial Chinese literature. 610 $amedieval Chinese literature. 610 $arhapsody. 615 0$aFu$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aChinese poetry$xHistory and criticism 676 $a895.1104 702 $aWilliams$b Nicholas Morrow 712 12$aFu Poetics (Conference)$f(2016 :$eHong Kong Baptist University.
