Short Songs in the Song Dynasty: “I ask you, how much sorrow can there be?” - Later Literati Song Lyrics

Update: 2022-12-26

Description

This episode discusses how the genre begins to broaden thematically in the work of somewhat later literati poets who continued to write in the short xiaoling form. Poems by the Last Emperor of the Southern Tang, Li Yu, and by Northern Song statesman Yan Shu demonstrate how the genre begins to take on themes like nostalgia and friendship.

Guest Host: Dr. Maija Samei
