A Tang Miscellany: An Introduction to Youyang Zazu (Asian Thought and Culture, Vol. 57) Book

Youyang zazu is an important Tang dynasty miscellany by the erudite and well-traveled chronicler, Duan Chengshi (c. 800?863). Duan collected over thirteen hundred anecdotes, notes, and tales, which he recorded based on firsthand information, hearsay, and books. Duan?s entries treat a fantastically broad array of subjects, including tattoos, fancy foods, supernatural occurrences, flora and fauna, temple art of Chang?an, and falconry. A Tang Miscellany: An Introduction to Youyang zazu includes a biographical sketch of Duan, a textual history of the miscellany, a summary of the content of the collection, and a selection of one-hundred forty-five translations.Read More
