They included ballad medleys, comic farces, Yuan music dramas, Ming music dramas, and the novel Shuihu zhuan. The Japanese scholars who first dedicated themselves to study these works in the mid-twentieth century were considered daring. As late as 1981, no comprehensive dictionary or glossary for this literature existed in any language, Asian or Western. A Glossary of Words and Phrases fills this gap for Western readers, allowing even a relative novice who has reasonable command of Chinese to read, translate, and appreciate this great body of literature with an ease undreamed of even two decades ago. The Glossary is organized into approximately 8,000 entries based on the reading notes and glosses found in various dictionaries, thesauruses, glossaries, and editions of works from the period. Main entries are listed alphabetically in the pinyin romanization system. In addition to glosses, entries include symbolic annotations, guides to pronunciation, and text citations. The result is a broadly useful glossary serving the needs of students of this literature as well as scholars researching Jin and Yuan language and its usage. 410 $aMichigan Monographs In Chinese Studies 606 $aSocial Science / Cultural & Ethnic Studies / General$2bisacsh 606 $aReference$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial sciences 615 7$aSocial Science / Cultural & Ethnic Studies / General 615 7$aReference 615 7$aSocial Science 615 0$aSocial sciences. 686 $aLAN000000$aSOC000000$aSOC008000$2bisacsh 700 $aJohnson$b Dale R$0119964 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910976778703321 996 $aA glossary of words and phrases in the oral performing and dramatic literatures of the Jin, Yuan, and Ming$91951000 997 $aUNINA
