Lily is the daughter of a humble farmer, and to her family she is just another expensive mouth to feed. Then the local matchmaker delivers startling news: if Lily's feet are bound properly, they will be flawless. In nineteenth-century China, where a woman's eligibility is judged by the shape and size of her feet, this is extraordinary good luck. Lily now has the power to make a good marriage and change the fortunes of her family. To prepare for her new life, she must undergo the agonies of footbinding, learn nu shu, the famed secret women's writing, and make a very special friend, Snow Flower. But a bitter reversal of fortune is about to change everything.

O Khe's arms hugged Canh That tightly, his chin rested on his shoulder, half of his weight was on Canh That's body, his arm slowly moved down, squeezing right where he was just hit by the corner of the table. Canh Qi didn't even need to look to know that the place was bound to be bruised, couldn't help but push him away and said: "This damn brat, you eat iron to grow... pain, let go! ". O Khe hugged him tighter than before, whispered softly in his ear, so low that it was almost inaudible: "I want to kill him...". Canh That froze: "What did you say?". O Khe burst out laughing, the laughter seemed to be squeezed in his throat, and then he couldn't stop it, his voice was hoarse, and it was like carrying a choking cry. Canh That heard him laugh, but goose bumps all over his body, only to hear him sob: "Whoever you like, I will kill that person, I... I want to throw them as bait for the snakes I raise, wait until they're there. when they're all dead, you'll be mine... Ha ha ha... It'll be mine...".

Although haiku is well known throughout the world, few outside Japan are familiar with its precursor, haikai (comic linked verse). Fewer still are aware of the role played by the Chinese Daoist classics in turning haikai into a respected literary art form. Bashō and the Dao examines the haikai poets’ adaptation of Daoist classics, particularly the Zhuangzi, in the seventeenth century and the eventual transformation of haikai from frivolous verse to high poetry. The author analyzes haikai’s encounter with the Zhuangzi through its intertextual relations with the works of Bashō and other major haikai poets, and also the nature and characteristics of haikai that sustained the Zhuangzi’s relevance to haikai poetic construction. She demonstrates how the haikai poets’ interest in this Daoist work was rooted in the intersection of deconstructing and reconstructing the classical Japanese poetic tradition. Well versed in both Chinese and Japanese scholarship, Qiu explores the significance of Daoist ideas in Bashō’s and others’ conceptions of haikai. Her method involves an extensive hermeneutic reading of haikai texts, an in-depth analysis of the connection between Chinese and Japanese poetic terminology, and a comparison of Daoist traits in both traditions. The result is a penetrating study of key ideas that have been instrumental in defining and rediscovering the poetic essence of haikai verse. Bashō and the Dao adds to an increasingly vibrant area of academic inquiry—the complex literary and cultural relations between Japan and China in the early modern era. Researchers and students of East Asian literature, philosophy, and cultural criticism will find this book a valuable contribution to cross-cultural literary studies and comparative aesthetics.

I can cover the sun and the moon with my heart! The color of the mountains and rivers changed! The Heavens had no eyes, but they were able to defy the heavens and turn into a demon! The heaven and earth were moved! Blood flowed like a river, washing away the muddy water! The universe was turned upside down! Close]
