From stanzas on food and wine in the Book of Odes to the articulation of refined dining in The Dream of the Red Chamber and Su Shi's literary recipe for attaining culinary perfection, lavish textual representations help explain the unique appeal of food and its overwhelming cultural significance within Chinese society. These eight essays offer a colorful tour of Chinese gourmands whose work exemplifies the interrelationships of social and literary history surrounding food, with careful explication of such topics as the importance of tea in poetry, "the morality of drunkenness", and food's role in the objectification of women in certain classic texts. 606 $aChinese literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGastronomy in literature 606 $aFood in literature 615 0$aChinese literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGastronomy in literature. 615 0$aFood in literature. 676 $a895.1093564 702 $aYue$b Isaac 702 $aTang$b Siufu 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815959703321 996 $aScribes of gastronomy$94042483 997 $aUNINA
