Outline (in English)

In this course, we will closely read Sima Qian’s Shiji (The Records of the Grand Historian). Shiji is one of the most familiar Chinese classics that not only exerted strong influence on the Tale of Genji but also had enduring effects on the subsequent Japanese literature. In this course, we will critically examine existing translations in reference to commentaries written in literary Chinese (So-called Sanjia Zhu—three standard commentaries—and Shiki kaichu kosho by Sukenobu Takigawa). In so doing, we seek to deepen our understanding on ancient Chinese society and culture and absorb wisdom of people described therein through close reading of Chapter 86, Biography of Xiang Yu, of Shiji, and develop basic skills for close reading of Chinese classic writings.
