WANG, Shizhen ???

Beschreibung

Edited by Xu Huai ??, with notes by Jin Rong ?? Full-page woodcut port. of the author. One introductory juan with biographical texts, 12 juan, & Supplement (bu ?) in 8 vols. 8vo, orig. blue wrappers, new stitching. [China]: Fenghui Tang ???, after 1736. An early edition, with additions, of the poetry of "the early Qing scholars hero" Wang Shizhen (1634-1711) (Matteini, The Ghost in the City, 15). Wang who took the literary name "Hermit of Yuyang Hill" in reference to a hill by lake Taihu, whose scenery he admired was a writer and a member of the Kangxi emperor s private secretarial staff in the so-called Southern Study (Nan shufang ???). He participated in some of the major editorial projects undertaken at the Kangxi court. He was one of the most famous writers of his generation, particularly noted for his poetry, of which the present work is one of the most important collections. This edition comes with a chronological biography (nianpu ??) of Wang, his portrait, and funerary inscriptions. Xu Huai s and Jin Rong s edition is based on the Essential Selections that Lin Ji ?? had published for Wang in 1700. Wang had "entrusted [Lin, who had "exquisite calligraphic skills"] with a bundle of writings to edit, hand copy, and supervise the carving of its blocks" (Ko, The Social Life of Inkstones, 94). Our edition contains an annotated version of that work. One page is reproduced in Lin Ji s clerical script calligraphy. Our copy is possibly a re-engraved version, like WorldCat 54948150, since it does not contain the date 1736 (Qianlong 1) anywhere, as some copies apparently do (see, e.g., WorldCat 173197162). Fine set, preserved in a hantao. References Ko, Dorothy. The Social Life of Inkstones: Artisans and Scholars in Early Qing China. Seattle: University of Washington Press, 2017. Matteini, Michele.
