A General Survey of Song-Poetry (Sanqu) of Yuan China (1260–1368) is written by Yishan Zhao and published by BRILL. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 9004734538 (ISBN 10) and 9789004734531 (ISBN 13).
This book provides a survey of Yuan sanqu, with its principal sections focusing on fundamental theories, compositional features, and historical evolution. Its treatment of qu criticism and bibliography offers a comprehensive perspective on the defining characteristics of sanqu. Serving both as a general overview of sanqu and a foundation for future research, this publication explores this unique yet historically marginalized genre of song-poetry. It generates new insights through textual analysis and the nuanced discussion of dualistic concepts, such as the interplay between literature and music, the Song and Yuan dynasties, and the relationship between ci-lyrics and song-poetry.
