  1. Chinese character manipulation in literature and divination : the Zichu by Zhou Lianggong (1612-1672)

    Schmiedl, Anne
    Leiden ; Boston : Brill, [2020]

    "In Chinese Character Manipulation in Literature and Divination, Anne Schmiedl analyses the little-studied method of Chinese character manipulation as found in imperial sources. Focusing on one of the most famous and important works on this subject, the Zichu by Zhou Lianggong (1612-1672), Schmiedl traces and discusses the historical development and linguistic properties of this method. This book represents the first thorough study of the Zichu and the reader is invited to explore how, on the one hand, the educated elite leveraged character manipulation as a literary play form. On the other hand, as detailed exhaustively by Schmiedl, practitioners of divination also used and altered the visual, phonetic, and semantic structure of Chinese characters to gain insights into events and objects in the material world"--In Chinese Character Manipulation in Literature and Divination, Anne Schmiedl analyses the little-studied method of Chinese character manipulation as found in imperial sources.

  2. The life of a patron : Zhou Lianggong (1612-1672) and the painters of seventeenth-century China

    Kim, Hongnam
    New York : China Institute in America, c1996.

    This volume celebrates Zhou Lianggong's legacy to the study of 17th-century Chinese painting. A high government official, Zhou Lianggong was unlike other typical connoisseurs of that period. Instead of seeking out works by great artists of the past, he focused on contemporary painters as well as seal carvers. Concerned with perserving their names in history, he recorded their biographies which he compiled in his books Da Hua Lu (Lives of Painters) and Yinren Zhuan (Lives of Seal Carvers). In this richly illustrated catalog Dr. Kim has compiled valuable information about Zhou's life and writings and thus shed new light on the study of Chinese painting of the 17th-century.
