Adopting a philological approach, this book thorougly examines a multitude of texts written by Xiao Tong and his entourage, many of whom were powerful writers in their own right. In addition to drawing a picture of important aspects of Liang court culture such as education, literary composition, personal relations, and ideological and religious trends, this study also redresses a long-standing bias against court poetry. It will enhance our understanding not only of the early sixth-century but also, indirectly, of a significant portion of pre-modern Chinese literature in general.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47888449962135,"sku":"9789004225220","price":18774.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004225220.webp?v=1781166039","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-age-of-courtly-writing-wen-xuan-compiler-xiao-tong-501-531-and-his-circle-9789004225220","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
