Shadows in a Chinese Landscape: The Notes of a Confucian ScholarM.E. Sharpe, 26 במרץ 1999 - 165 עמודים The translations presented here comprise tales and anecdotes about members of Ch'i Yun's household, his colleagues, and his various neighbors. During the Ch'ing period the collection was widely read because of its famous author as well as for its contents, and it is now recognized as a masterpiece of the period. In addition to his careful translations of the stories, Keenan describes connections between Ch'i Yun's Notes, other collections of classical-language popular fiction in eighteenth-century China, and vernacular fiction such as The Scholars and the Dream of the Red Chamber, with which Notes has been favorably compared. |

עמוד xii - The Master said : At fifteen I set my heart upon learning. At thirty, I had planted my feet firm upon the ground. At forty, I no longer suffered from perplexities. At fifty, I knew what were the biddings of Heaven. At sixty, I heard them with docile ear.

עמוד xiii - Go side by side with the sun and moon, Do the rounds of Space and Time. Act out their neat conjunctions, Stay aloof from their convulsions. Dependents each on each, let us honour one another. Common people fuss and fret, The sage is a dullard and a sluggard. Be aligned along a myriad years, in oneness, wholeness, simplicity.
