Leiden; Boston : BRILL, 2010. 1 online resource. text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource rdacarrier Harvard University Studies in East Asian Law ; 75 Description based on print version record. Paths into qu writing -- Performing contentment and dramatizing retirement -- Writing in a local community -- A world of their own : textual and social space -- The encounter between the masters of two generations and two locales -- A local club and a wider community of sanqua -- Drama activities and qu printing projects -- The master of song and drama. A discharged official in mid-Ming China faced significant changes in his life. This book explores three such officials in the sixteenth century--Wang Jiusi, Kang Hai, and Li Kaixian--who turned to literary endeavors when forced to retire. Instead of the formal writing expected of scholar-officials, however, they chose to engage in the stigmatized genre ofqu (songs), a collective term for drama and sanqu. As their efforts reveal, a disappointing end to an official career and a physical move away from the center led to their embrace of qu and the pursuit of a marginalized literary genre. This book also attempts to sketch the largely unknown literary landscape of mid-Ming north China. After their retirements, these three writers became cultural leaders in their native regions. Wang, Kang, and Li are studied here not as solitary writers but as central figures in the "qu communities" that formed around them. Using such communities as the basic unit in the study of qu allows us to see how sanqu and drama were produced, transmitted, and "used" among these writers, things less evident when we focus on the individual.
