THE VALUE OF OTHERNESS IN LITERATURE --$tBIBLIOGRAPHY --$tINDEX 330 $aThis book explores the dissemination of ideas and information on the early silk roads between Europe and China, through the first detailed study of the Sinicization of foreign objects in Chinese poetic writing of the third century CE. Third-century literary developments and the prevailing literary works from that era leave us with an impressive amount of information concerning exotic objects, such as plants, animals, and crafts, and record the cultural exchange between distant peoples whose goods, ideas, and technologies entered China. These hitherto-forgotten rhapsodies express the profound interest and excitement of learned men for foreign objects. They bear witness to the cultural exchanges between China and other civilizations and provide a more nuanced insight of early medieval China as an integrated society rather than an isolated one. 410 0$aEast Meets West: East Asia and Its Periphery from 200 BCE to 1600 CE 606 $aChinese poetry$xHistory and criticism 607 $aSilk Road$xHistory 615 0$aChinese poetry$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a895.11209 700 $aKong$b Xurong$01728934 801 0$bUkLoBP 801 1$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838307203321 996 $aFu Poetry along the Silk Roads$94138425 997 $aUNINA
