<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In the thousand years covered by this volume the <em>shih</em> reached its highest level of development. A lyric form which, using a predominantly four-character line, had earlier been employed in the Confucian<em> Book of Odes</em>, it rose to prominence once more in the period under discussion. The new <em>shih</em>, which differed from the original form only in its use of a five- or seven-character line, became the best known and most characteristic of Chinese poetic forms. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Burton Watson is one of the world's best-known translators from the Chinese and Japanese. His translations include <i>The Lotus Sutra, The Vimalakirti Sutra, Ryokan: Zen Monk-Poet of Japan, Saigyo: Poems of a Mountain Home, </i> and <i>The Columbia Book of Chinese Poetry: From Early Times to the Thirteenth Century, </i> all published by Columbia.
