"In The city of Ye in the Chinese literary landscape, Joanne Tsao demonstrates how the city of Ye changed from an iconic space that represented Cao Cao's heroic enterprise to a symbol of the fruitlessness of human endeavour, and then finally to a literary landmark, a synecdoche for the vicissitudes of human life caught in the predictable cycles of dynastic rise and decline. Through a close reading of literary works on Ye, she illustrates how the city transformed from a lived to imaginative space to become a symbol in the poetic lexicon"--Page 4 of cover.
