With the passing of each generation, the chanting of classical Chinese poetry and prose has turned into a disappearing art. A native of Tongcheng, Anhui, Professor Yang Ye will discuss the art of chanting classical literary texts, and demonstrate its close connection to understanding and appreciation. He will also provide some background on the theory of “Seeking the Vital Force through Sounds” (因聲求氣 yin sheng qiu qi) of the Tongcheng Pai (桐城派), a representative school of literary criticism of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911).
This lecture was made possible by the Justin Vajna Memorial Fund for Educational Programs in the Chinese Garden.
