Hidden Gem Series:

Some Lesser-Known but Worth-a-Deep-Read Literature in Classical Chinese

This blog is periodically updated. Last update was on Jan 27, 2023.

Only a few in this list have (good) English translations up to my awareness, which can be found by clicking the book title.

• 声无哀乐论: 嵇康
• 天问: 屈原
• 江南园林志: 童寯
• 胡笳十八拍: 刘商撰 [画卷] [Handscroll Study]

Side note: some good English translations of some better-known literature in Classical Chinese that closely related to Chinese traditional music.

• 琵琶行: 白居易
• 春江花月夜: 张若虚
• 阳关三叠: 王维

Hidden Gem Series is a collection of self-written notes on various topics, primarily for my own reference and hopefully useful for some readers. These notes are not tailored towards the general audience yet, but feel free to email me if there are questions.
