But poetry was not the only way that premodern Chinese people underst ood verbal conduits from the self to the world. Focusing on the relationsh ip between neo-Confucian yulu (“recorded sayings”) and huaben (“vernacular short stories”)\, I will be examining another tradition of “poetics\,” or how premodern Chinese people denoted the truth. Along the way\, I will be considering tongsu (common language)–not merely as a synonym for baihua ( vernacular)\, that twentieth-century nationalized language for writing–nor as a vehicle for meaning\, but instead as a medium\, where what is medium and what is content is ever shifting.\n\n For those interested\, you are w elcome to watch this 10-minute introduction by Prof. Lu on Ming-dynasty (1 4th–17th centuries) popular culture before the lecture.\n https://video.afe .easia.columbia.edu/video/introduction-to-ming-dynasty-fiction/\n\n Recepti on to Follow\, Please RSVP at https://forms.office.com/r/wecEzNbcQ8\n\n DTSTART:20250919T200000Z DTEND:20250919T214500Z LOCATION:CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0E5\, ñ Faculty Club\, Billiard Room \, 3rd floor\, 3450 McTavish Street SUMMARY:Paul Hsiang Lecture Series on Chinese Poetry - Tina Lu URL:/channels/channels/event/paul-hsiang-lecture-serie s-chinese-poetry-tina-lu-366955 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
