Seller's Description:
VG. Cream and illus. boards, illus. flyleaves, 299 pp., illus. Main text in English, with poems also in Chinese. "A translation of and a scholarly commentary on the Imperial Poems on the Mountain Estate for Escaping the Heat (1712), composed by China's Kangxi emperor, who ruled from 1661-1722. He published this unprecedented book as a summary self-portrait of his life in his favorite garden as he approached the age of sixty. The setting of these poems is one of the oldest and best preserved of the Qing dynasty imperial parks, Bishu shanzhuang, which played a significant role in the history of the Manchu court for more than a century and a half." (foreword) What a great idea!
