When his society collapsed into civil war in 755, however, he began to question contemporary assumptions about the role that tradition should play in making sense of experience and defining human flourishing. In this book, Lucas Bender argues that Du Fu's reconsideration of the nature and importance of tradition has played a pivotal role in the transformation of Chinese poetic understanding over the last millennium. In reimagining his relationship to tradition, Du Fu anticipated important philosophical transitions from the late-medieval into the early-modern period and laid the template for a new and perduring paradigm of poetry's relationship to ethics. He also looked forward to the transformations his own poetry would undergo as it was elevated to the pinnacle of the Chinese poetic pantheon"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aHarvard University Asia Center E-Book Collection, Supplement 2021. 517 3 $aTradition and Ethics amid Societal Collapse 606 $aChinese poetry$yTang dynasty, 618-907$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEthics in literature 606 $aLiterature and society$zChina$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aManners and customs in literature 607 $aChina$2fast 608 $aLiterary criticism.$2lcgft 615 0$aChinese poetry$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aEthics in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aManners and customs in literature. 676 $a895.11/3 700 $aBender$b Lucas Rambo$01741761 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910860809103321 996 $aDu Fu Transforms$94167980 997 $aUNINA
