Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Dialogues in the Dark traces how Chinese readers and scholars since the Han dynasty have variously interpreted the ancient poem 'Heavenly Questions' (Tianwen), an enigmatic work attributed to Qu Yuan (fl. ca. 300 BCE). The poem, composed entirely in the form of questions, is an extended inquiry into early Chinese cosmology and history. Over centuries, readers of the poem came to radically different understandings, each providing a unique perspective on its meaning. The poem's reception history comprises three main stages: first, the commentary compiled by Han scholar Wang Yi (ca. 89-ca. 158); second, the response by Tang poet Liu Zongyuan (773-819); and third, the interpretations developed subsequently by late imperial and modern scholars. Nicholas Morrow Williams analyzes how the poem's meaning evolved in different time periods and provides three new translations of 'Heavenly Questions' to represent the three stages, respectively.
