"Shijing Guofeng" By Jun Hashimoto Price: ¥5000 A collection of works by Jun Hashimoto, a scholar of Chinese literature and the teacher of Shizuka Shirakawa. Volume 2 contains the highly regarded "World Literature Series" edition, which is an accurate and concise translation and annotation of the "Shijing." The "Shijing" is one of the Five Classics in Confucianism and has been highly valued in Japan since ancient times. It is a book that almost every intellectual has read, but due to the various commentaries and interpretations that have existed since ancient times, each with its own diverse understanding, it is not easy to fully grasp its content, and even today, there are many parts that are subject to different interpretations. Several research results have been published so far, but among them, this book has been used for a long time by Chinese studies scholars as the most accurate and concise translation and annotation. However, both the "World Literature Series" and "Complete World Literature Collection" editions of the book, originally published by Chikuma Shobo, are already out of print. This collection of works is based on the edition included in Chikuma Shobo's "World Literature Series" 7A, "Collection of Chinese Classical Poetry." In addition, corrections made by the author after the original publication, as well as obvious misprints and errors, have been corrected. Furthermore, to make it easier for modern readers to read, some kanji spellings and kana usage have been revised. #JunHashimoto #Jun_Hashimoto #book #ForeignLiterature/Other #Shijing #ChineseLiterature #ChineseThought #OrientalThought #Confucianism
