The Chinese Written Character As A Medium For Poetry is a book written by Ernest Fenollosa. It is an in-depth exploration of the Chinese language and its written characters, with a specific focus on their use in poetry. The book delves into the history and evolution of the Chinese language, as well as the unique characteristics of its written characters. Fenollosa argues that the Chinese written character is a particularly effective medium for poetry, as it allows for a level of precision and nuance that is not possible with other languages. He provides numerous examples of Chinese poetry and analyzes the ways in which the written characters contribute to their beauty and meaning. The book is considered a seminal work in the field of Chinese language and literature, and has been influential in shaping Western understanding and appreciation of Chinese culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
