This book, containing a total of 10 articles, is the result of the author’s engagement in interdisciplinary research work. These articles studied paintings with poetic flavour which were inspired by Chinese classical literary works, such as “Jiu Ge” (the Chu Ci Nine-Songs), “Lanting Xu” (Prose of Purification at the Lanting Pavilion) and “Chi Bi Fu” (Ode to the Red Cliff), as well as poems inspired by writers appreciating these paintings.
Poems and paintings often play dual roles; they are themselves both the sources of inspiration for new literary or painting works and the fruit of this innovation. This phenomenon of “intertextuality” and “Citationality” in Chinese literature and arts scenes are important characteristics of the Chinese culture.
