Product Description
In this popular textbook for learners of classical Chinese, Chiang offers a systematic and clear analysis of classical Chinese (wenyan) grammar, using 20 readings from texts of the Spring and Autumn, Warring States, Qin, and early Han periods. The texts are written in modern Chinese, and each reading draws connections between the modern and classical forms of the language. Written exercises are included. As a prerequisite for this course, students should have studied at least three years of modern Chinese. The text is in traditional Chinese characters and English. A vocabulary glossary by pinyin and four in-depth grammar-oriented appendices are also included.
