Summary
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Enthusiasts with a strong interest in the form and beauty of the Chinese language itself
- Writers and copywriters seeking to hone their language and expand their expressive range
- Readers who enjoy light, informative, and entertaining reading
- Chinese-language learners at middle-school level and above, as a supplementary text for understanding the relationship between classical and vernacular Chinese
Not a good fit for
- Readers seeking systematic classical Chinese grammar or serious academic research
- Readers indifferent to language experiments and textual transformation who want only a clear story or argument
Reading tips
- There is no need to read straight through; begin with the chapter matching a modern text you know well—comparison makes it more enjoyable.
- While reading, try "classicizing" a short passage of everyday writing yourself, to experience firsthand the shift between the two registers.
- Read alongside accomplished contemporary writing in literary Chinese (certain game scripts, guofeng song lyrics) and consider the many possibilities for using classical Chinese today.
