Examining poems presented during the Wei-Jin Nanbeichao, or early medieval period (220?619), Fusheng Wu provides a thorough exploration of the sociopolitical background against which these poems were written and a close analysis of the formal conventions of the poems.By reconstructing the human drama behind the composition of these poems, Wu shows that writing under imperial command could be a matter of grave consequence. The poets' work could determine the rise and fall of careers, or even cost lives. While panegyric poetry has been largely dismissed as perfunctory and insincere, such poems reveal much about the relations between monarchs and the intellectuals they patronized and also compels us to reexamine the canonical Chinese notion of poetic production as personal, spontaneous expression. 410 0$aSUNY series in Chinese philosophy and culture. 517 3 $aPanegyric poetry in early medieval China 606 $aChinese poetry$y221 B.C.-960 A.D$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLaudatory poetry$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aChinese poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLaudatory poetry$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a895.1/1209 700 $aWu$b Fusheng$f1959-$01602886 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823981803321 996 $aWritten at imperial command$93927004 997 $aUNINA
