Chinese classics - 2024 ARGOS

Question

In Wang Yi’s edition, an extra character appended to the title of Qu Yuan’s “Lí Sāo” elevates it to the status of this type of work, which Liu Xie equated to “the everlasting dao.” For 10 points each:

[10e] Name this kind of canonical work. A Neo-Confucian canon consists of “Four Books” and five of these works.

ANSWER: Chinese classics [or jing; accept wujing; accept Four Books and Five Classics]

[10h] Lu Ji describes how the writer “learns to recite the classics” and draw on past masterpieces in a “Poetic Exposition on Literature” in this Chinese form. This form combines poetic and prose qualities, motivating English translations such as “rhapsody” or “rhyme-prose.”

ANSWER: fù (“foo”) [accept Wen fu]

[10m] “Sacred words” from the Classics are quoted in the exordium of compositions in this form, which were based on a pre-selected Classic quotation and became the standardized written answer format for the Ming imperial exams.

ANSWER: eight-legged essays [or baguwen; or eight-bone essay; or babiwen or zhiyi or shiyi or shiwen or juye; prompt on essays]
