Description: Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition book which is RARE, hard to find and OUT OF PRINT and a classic biography of the Sung Dynasty statesman, classicist, historian poet and essayist OU-YANG HSIU written by JAMES T. C. LIU--the book is an unstated First Edition and a HARDCOVER with the ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET and is NOT a remainder copy and NOT price-clipped, with the original $6.50 price in the upper corner of the front inner flap. This book is in SUPERB condition and the book itself has tiny check marks on the margins of some of the book's pages, small margin lines on a few of the book's pages and small marginalia on the lower edges of two of the pages but NO other significant imperfections; the dustjacket has very slight browning on the spine edge but NO other significant flaws! The book is titled Ou-yang Hsiu: An Eleventh-Century Neo-Confucianist and it was written by JAMES T. C. LIU; it was published by Stanford University Press in 1967 and is an unstated 1st Edition copy.The early Sung period, an era of unparalleled growth in Chinese social, political, and intellectual institutions, established the terms of orthodoxy in China for the succeeding 800 years. The moving spirit of the age was neo-Confucianism, a selective re-interpretation of China's ancient heritage in all its political, ideological, and literary ramifications. This important period is here studied through the life of one of the most influential Sung neo-Confucianists, Ou-yang Hsiu.The first part is biographical, focusing upon Ou-yang's career in the Sung bureaucracy, the earliest centralized bureaucrarcy that recruited commoners by competitive examinations. The second part is critical, describing and analyzing Ou-yang's contributions to Confucian exegesis, historiography, literature, political theory, and religious belief. A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
