520 1 $a"Compiled in 940 at the court of the kingdom of Shu, the Huajian ji is the earliest extant collection of song lyrics by literati poets. In the history of the genre that came to be called ci, or simply "lyrics," the Huajian ji has long been regarded as the founding collection." "In this book, Anna Shields examines the influence of court culture on the creation of the anthology and the significance of imitation and convention in its lyrics. The author suggests that by considering the Huajian ji only in terms of its contributions to a later "model," we unnecessarily limit ourselves to a single literary form, and risk overlooking the broader influence of Tang culture on the Huajian ji. By illuminating the historical and literary contexts of the anthology, Shields aims to situate the Huajian ji within larger problematics of Chinese literary history, particularly the influence of cultural forces on the emergence of genres and the development of romantic literature."--BOOK JACKET.
