书籍简介

《楚辞》是现存的两部中国古代诗歌集之一，是整个中国诗歌传统的一个重要来源。由于挽歌中包含了对政治抗议的热情表达，以及萨满教的魔咒和游魂主题，它们呈现了早期中国文化的另一种面貌；一种与正统儒家思想不一致的面貌。本译本采用了文学性的英语手段

以强调这些中国诗歌的原始结构。它还研究了源文本中异常生动的措辞，包括拟声词、华丽的描述、奇异的花朵、戏剧性的风景、隐喻和惊人的比喻。

该译本将以汉代王逸（公元2世纪）编纂的原始文集为基础，包含从公元前3世纪到汉代收集的部分诗歌。该选集使读者了解中国文学及其从自由奔放的神话歌曲到汉代宫廷的更正式、更精炼的风格的演变。

Elegies of Chu (in Chinese, Chuci), one of the two surviving collections of ancient Chinese poetry, is a key source for the whole tradition of Chinese poetry. Because the elegies contain passionate expressions of political protest as well as shamanistic themes of magic spells and wandering spirits, they present an alternative face of early Chinese culture; one that does not align with orthodox Confucianism. This translation employs literary English devices

in order to emphasise the original structure of these Chinese poems. It also examines the extraordinarily vivid diction of the source texts, including of onomatopoeia, ornate descriptions, exotic flowers, dramatic landscapes, metaphors and startling similes.

This translation will be based on the original anthology compiled in the Han dynasty by Wang Yi (2nd century CE), and contains a selection of poems that were collected from the 3rd century BCE through the Han dynasty. The anthology provides readers with an understanding of Chinese literature and its evolution from free-spirited, mythico-religious songs to the more formal, polished style of the Han court.
