Class description
The Winter 2006 Chinese 560 is the first course in a two-term sequence, continued by Chinese 580 in Spring 2006. Students are expected to take both courses in the sequence. The first term will be devoted to readings from the San guo zhi and primary texts from the Three Kingdoms period (221-280 A.D.). This term of the course can be approved as a substitute for Chinese 552 (Second-year Classical). The second term will be devoted to treatments of Three Kingdoms material in the drama, prosimetric literature, and fiction of the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Prerequisites for the Winter term are Chinese 453 and at least one course from the Chinese 461-62-63 sequence. The Winter term is required for participation in the Spring.
