Persian Notes
by Mu Hongyan
About This Novel
In the minds of Chinese readers, Persian culture appears mysterious and lofty. In fact, Chinese civilization and Persian civilization have had close exchanges in history. Pipa, harp, pomegranate and other food and utensils were introduced to China from Persia, and Chinese Tang poetry also influenced Persian poetry. In this book "Persian Notes", Mu Hongyan, a doctoral supervisor at Beijing Foreign Studies University and a scholar specializing in Persian culture, introduces all aspects of Persian culture in clear and concise language: history, society, poetic tradition, aesthetic taste... Persia in the book has a familiar side to us, that is, a side that is connected with Chinese cultural traditions; there is also a strange side, that is, limited by the barriers of language and region, it has been out of the sight of Chinese readers for a long time. The book is easy-to-understand and is equipped with many exquisite illustrations of Persian paintings and utensils. It is an interesting overview of the rich cultural treasure house of Persia.
