Carefully wrought and rich with historical insights and philosophical ruminations, it provides an invaluable window to the extraordinary mind of its creator, Yang Xiong, and the cross currents of his cultural moment. Nylan's masterful translation is a great stylistic and philological achievement. She renders Yang Xiong's prose with wit, fluency, and accuracy and provides the necessary contexts for understanding the text in her copious and helpful notes.\" Wai-Yee Li, Harvard University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments \u003cbr\u003e Chronology of Dynasties \u003cbr\u003e Introduction \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eExemplary Figures \/ Fayan\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
