| Annotation: | In an effort to understand the view of nature at the time, Santangelo analyzes literary works of the Ming-Qing Period. He describes two complementary ways of interpreting nature, first as metaphor expressing emotions and, second as an opportunity for aesthetic and/or religious contemplation. Providing excerpts from a variety of texts, he discusses topics such as the concept of unity and personal perfection, hostile “wilderness,” Daoist simplicity and Confucian social behavior, and gardens and flowers in novels. |
