Trang 1and Chinese philosophies His theory that the core of Chinese aesthetics rests on the unification of opposite entities—“solidity-emptiness” and
“finite-infinite”—paradigms espoused in Taoism and Buddhism, has a far-reaching influence in the world of Chinese academia and arts His
scholarly works include Yi jing (The Realm of Arts) and Kangde yanjiu
(A Study of Kant) Zong was also a noted essayist His best-known
works are Meixue de sanbu (The Aesthetic Promenade), a collection of lyrical essays on aesthetics, and the letters included in San ye ji (Three
Leaves: Correspondences of Tian Han, Zong Baihua, and Guo Moruo) Zong displayed an interest in vernacular poetry as early as the late 1910s, when he was a student at Tongji University in Shanghai, where
he joined the Chinese Youth Association and edited its magazine
Shaonian Zhongguo (Chinese Youth) While studying in Germany, Zong began to write poetry, encouraged by Dessoir’s emphasis on the aesthetic experience in nature and art Most of the poems collected in
Liu yun xiao shi (Floating Clouds: Short Poems), a book that attracted much attention in the 1920s and 1930s, were written during his sojourn
in Germany Although he was not nearly as prolific in his creative work
as in his philosophical writings, he continued to write poetry after his return to China His poems express his love of nature and the instan-taneous perception of the beauty of the eternal universe through small joys in everyday life Zong embraces Zen Buddhism in its celebration
of the moment and the discovery of the philosophical and literary in the
mundane See also GUO MORUO; NEW CULTURE MOVEMENT;

ZONG PU, PEN NAME OF FENG ZONGPU (1928– ) Fiction writer
and essayist Born in Beijing, Zong Pu grew up in an academic environ-ment, moving from one university campus to another with her family, which was headed by her famous father, the renowned philosopher Feng
Youlan (1895–1990) Although she published stories in the 1940s and
1950s, it is her work from the post-Mao era that has established her reputation as a creative writer
Among her works are “Hong dou” (Red Beans), published in 1957, about the conflict of love and revolutionary ideals in a missionary school, “Xian shang de meng” (Dream on the Strings), about the
cha-otic years of the Cultural Revolution, and Sansheng shi (Everlasting
Rock) , a love story set in the 1960s Worth special mention are Nan du

the East), a novel chronicling the lives of China’s intellectual elites, who
are forced to retreat to the southwest during the Sino-Japanese War
Zong’s protagonists are university professors, the group of people she knows intimately Through the portrayal of their lives, Zong illustrates the spirituality of Chinese intellectuals who maintain moral purity in their pursuit of knowledge, scholarship, and aesthetic perfection These traditional beliefs and practices give them the strength to survive social upheaval and transcend the chaos and madness of the age They repre-sent the best of Chinese culture, unbending and resilient in their quiet, unassuming ways Zong writes in a style of gentle elegance, refined by her training in both Chinese classics and Western literature The same style also characterizes her essays, the most endearing pieces of which are her sketches of well-known academics, including her distinguished father

INTRODUCTION
In a field as large as modern Chinese literature, there is understandably an incred-ible amount of material, works by authors and the scholars who study them It is not feasible to include all notable works in this dictionary Painstaking efforts, therefore, have been made to sift through the ocean of books and select only the most essential The bibliography is divided into four categories: Primary Works (Individual Authors); Anthologies; Surveys and General Critical Works; and fi-nally Critical Works on Individual Authors While the first category contains both the Chinese originals and the English translations, the last three categories only include English publications As this dictionary is intended primarily for English readers, emphasis is placed on works published in English
For a reader coming to modern Chinese literature for the first time, the best place to start is perhaps a general introductory or survey book Merle
Gold-man’s Modern Chinese Literature in the May Fourth Era, and C T Hsia’s A History of Modern Chinese Fiction should prove to be very helpful Goldman’s
work is a historical examation of the first phase of modern Chinese literature, situating the authors and their works against the specific background of the era Hsia’s book, on the other hand, is a survey of exclusively fictional works, which covers up to the 1950s with the epilogue extending to the 1970s While acknowledging the historical and political importance of these works, Hsia

gives priority to assessing their literary value Thus extensive plot summaries are provided, giving the reader a good sense of what a novel or story is about For a closer look at the literature in the decades after the Nationalist retreat to
Taiwan, Sun-sheng Yvonne Chang’s Modernism and the Nativist Resistance: Contemporary Chinese Fiction from Taiwan treats the opposing ideological and
aesthetic views of the two camps and their respective achievements The
vol-ume edited by Wendy Larson and Anne Wedell-Wedellsbog, Inside Out: Mod-ernism and PostmodMod-ernism in Chinese Literary Culture, and Xiaobing Tang’s Chinese Modernism: The Heroic and the Quotidian should be interesting reads
on new literature from the mainland since the 1980s
For a sample of readings, the anthology edited by Joseph S M Lau and
Howard Goldblatt, The Columbia Anthology of Modern Chinese Literature, is
ideal, as it contains poetry, fiction, and essays up till the 1990s If one wishes
to focus on women writers, two anthologies edited by Amy D Dooling and her
colleague, Writing Women in Modern China: An Anthology of Women’s Litera-ture from the Early Twentieth Century and Writing Women in Modern China: The Revolutionary Years, 1936–1976, are recommended If one is interested in the avant-garde writers in the mainland since the 1980s, Henry Zhao’s The Lost Boat: Avant-garde Fiction from China includes names such as Ma Yuan, Ge
Fei, Yu Hua, Su Tong, Can Xue, an altogether very fascinating collection To get further acquainted with modern Chinese poetry, one can browse Michelle
Yeh’s Anthology of Modern Chinese Poetry and Another Kind of Nation: An Anthology of Contemporary Chinese Poetry, edited by Zhang Er and Chen
Dongdong
For plays (spoken drama), Theater and Society: An Anthology of Contemporary Chinese Drama edited by Yan Haiping would be a good place to start.
These critical surveys and anthologies should be able to guide readers to a few favorite names to explore further The list may include fiction writers Lu Xun, Shen Congwen, Ba Jin, Mao Dun, Zhang Ailing, Wu Zhuoliu, Xiao Hong, Bai Xianyong, Wang Wenxing, Huang Chunming, Han Shaogong, Mo Yan, Su Tong,
Yu Hua, Li Rui, Zhu Tianwen, Zhu Tianxin, Zhang Guixing, Li Yongping, Xi Xi, Wang Anyi, and Can Xue; poets Xu Zhimo, Dai Wangshu, Yang Mu, Bei Dao,
Gu Cheng, Shu Ting, Yang Lian, Yu Jian, and Xi Chuan; playwrights Cao Yu, Lao She, Gao Xingjian, and Lai Shengchuan Although the list should include many other names, unfortunately the English translations of their works are slow
in coming Keep an eye out for anyone that attracted your attention as you browsed through this dictionary
The list of critical works is given here specifically for a reader interested in taking a more in-depth look at some of the works and literary trends Marston
Anderson’s Limits of Realism: Chinese Fiction in the Revolutionary Period is a
book intended for the academically inclined on how the Western realist
