  • Shining Ideal and Uncertain Reality: Commentaries on the “Golden Rule” in Confucianism and Other Traditions

    Open AccessAndrew H PlaksARTICLEJournal of Chinese Humanities2015

    This paper considers a number of problematic issues underlying the seemingly unassailable truth of moral philosophy expressed in the “Golden Rule” in a variety of cultural spheres. These issues include the place of this teaching within its given religious or philosophical context, the defense of this principle as an inviolable tenet of revealed dogma or as a piece of utilitarian advice for the regulation of social life, the manner in which the pr…

  • Where the Lines Meet: Parallelism in Chinese and Western Literatures

    Andrew H PlaksARTICLEPoetics Today1990Cited by: 1

    It is virtually impossible for any critical description of classical Chinese literature, whether prose or poetry, to avoid drawing attention to one of its most obtrusive aesthetic features: the tendency of the texts of the tradition to fall sooner or later into steady rhythms of parallel constructions. This feature has been cited by many recent critics as a central structural principle of composition, and has been brought forward as a key to read…

  • The Four Masterworks of the Ming Novel: Ssu ta ch'i-shu

    Wilt L Idema, Andrew H PlaksARTICLEJournal of the American Oriental…1989

    Andrew Plaks reinterprets the great texts of Chinese fiction known as the Four Masterworks of the Ming Novel (ssu ta ch'i-shu). Arguing that these are far more than collections of popular narratives, Professor Plaks shows that their fullest recensions represent a sophisticated new genre of Chinese prose fiction arising in the late Ming dynasty, especially in the sixteenth century. He then analyzes these radical transformations of prior source mat…

  • Chinese Narrative: Critical and Theoretical Essays

    Anthony C Yu, Andrew H PlaksARTICLEJournal of the American Oriental…1981

    Although Chinese narrative, and especially the genres of colloquial fiction, have been subjected to intensive scholarly scrutiny, no comprehensive volume has provided a framework that would permit an overall view of the tradition. The distinguished contributors to this volume have taken an important first step in making possible the consideration of Chinese narrative at the level of comparative and general literary scholarship. Originally publish…
